Interesting fact

The James K. Polk dollar coin has a unique feature - it has a misprinted date. Instead of the correct date of 2009, the coin bears the date 2008. This error was caused by a mistake in the die-making process and was not discovered until after the coins had been released into circulation. As a result, the 2008-dated Polk dollars are now highly sought after by collectors, making them a valuable and interesting addition to any coin collection.
