25

Today's blog posts are brought to you by the number 25.

And speaking of the number 25, did you know that the quarter has gone through many changes--some controversial--since its first minting in 1796? In fact, in 1916, the front of the quarter had an image of Lady Liberty with an exposed breast. There was apparently such outrage that the quarter was re-designed and a much more conservative quarter was issued the following year.
