US 5 cent commemorative 2004-05 - Duration: 6:16.

though hello fellow coin collectors hang you going today and today I have some

American 5 cent coins and these ones are commemorative coins that were issued for

circulation so that's a cool graded coin and all these coins are actually quite

common so I have three of the four coins that issued in a 2004 and 2005 in the

first one I have is the well this one depicts deep boat that Lewis and Clark

went down the Columbia River with and actually went from camp wood Nia st.

Louis up to full flat stop and yeah what's pretty far from Seattle there's

an expedition to reached Pacific Ocean I like to call it the expedition of death

because after this time well Native Americans were quite fairly devastated

by well many different people so on the obverse which has Thomas Jefferson he

was pretty much the same bust as was previously used okay so this is the bus

there and afterwards was used a different portrait so there I am missing

one coin which is the Louisiana Purchase and this one here is actually the

whispered journey ocean view so this is the last coin and it has them looking at

Pacific Ocean on the back it has a different portrait of Thomas Jefferson

and that also has Liberty in a you know writing script in this coin has a

mintage of well between roughly about 400 million each they do vary like the

day meet Marcus 400 in the eleven million bid over and the P has four

hundred ninety four million a free hundred ninety four

should I say and this one needs today so this is a pretty high meter coin so none

of these are actually really unless it's in high grade like higher than s T so

scratches in it so if you get this just spend it because it's really not worth

keeping inflation will slowly eat this coin away so this one here is the

westward journey they call it a cure boat and this is the D mint mark it has

a mintage our friends on 44 million eight hundred eighty thousand so to hide

a king and the P is free hundred sixty-six thousand seven hundred and

twenty thousand so really not worth keeping they do our San Francisco mints

which is on average is about three million coins so those are the ones that

collect especially if you get them in circulation and then we have the Buffalo

so he's the buffalo nickel or five cents I call it a buffalo nickel because I

watched too many American coin channels and it has the Buffalo it looks pretty

similar to the one issued for circulation up into 938 so if we have a

look closer look as you can see the Buffalo and these are almost made

extinct by hunters I think there's like one or two thousand left in there

they've actually bred up again and on the back we have the 2005 portrait so

after this date the actual portrait changed because it's evil law or or just

like a part of the culture when they issue commemorative coins they actually

change the portrait so this is the current five cents the US and as you can

see is the different portrait of Thomas junior Gibson and if anyone doesn't know

he was actually deferred personally non-safe from 1801 to 1809 and that is

the current portrait so the mintage for did I say to mintage

for that one no this is the highest minted coin the Denver has are 487

million six hundred eighty thousand the P has the four hundred a forty eight

million three hundred twenty thousand in San Francisco

that's about three point three million

so these are in this condition if you're in the United States I just spend them

really not we're probably worth keeping is because you can always sell these for

higher value but with the tip design and the higher the grade definitely worth

keeping even though they mean to most useful meant even I'm integers as well

so those are mine I've sent American commemorative coin collection you could

probably find more detail on YouTube or the internet especially errors you want

to get errors look a couch collectibles because he has a wide variety of error

coins that he covers from the United States it doesn't really cover many

other coins outside the United States and like me I like the I do cover

Australian coins but also like the cover coins from other countries because why

not I'm a coin collector I'm not just an

Australian coin but anyway if you liked this video please give it a thumbs up

subscribe to my channel if I you need to purchase coins I do sell them on eBay so

you could just go and check it out it's a bit dead at the moment because of

Christmas and have awesome coin collecting time people thank you very

much bye bye

Michigan Republicans lame duck drive to hobble Democrats fails � mostly US news - Duration: 3:02.

Michigan Republicans lame duck drive to hobble Democrats fails – mostly US news

Bills to strip power from incoming officials failed or were vetoed, but the GOP still made changes that will affect liberal voters

Bills to strip power from incoming officials failed or were vetoed, but the GOP still made changes that will affect liberal voters

A frantic lame-duck month in which the Republican-controlled Michigan legislature floated hundreds of bills concluded with the GOP largely failing to pass controversial laws that would have stripped power from incoming Democrats.

Two bills died during the legislative process just before Christmas, and on Friday outgoing Republican governor Rick Snyder surprised his party by vetoing a bill designed to shift power from attorney general-elect Dana Nessel to the legislature. He did so after a law designed to take authority from incoming secretary of state Jocelyn Benson failed to make it out of the state House. A plan to create a "shadow" state board of education controlled by Republicans met the same fate in the Senate.

Snyder did sign several bills that reduce voters' power. They included significant alterations to citizen-initiated laws that mandated paid sick time and raised the minimum wage, and legislation to make ballot drives nearly impossible.

"They may not have taken power from incoming electeds but they did take significant power from people and that's important to highlight," Democratic state representative Yousef Rabhi told the Guardian, adding that he was stopping short of praising anyone in the Republican party.

"They were planning to set the house on fire so it's sort of weird to applaud them for not burning it down," he said.

The legislation targeting Benson would have shifted her authority over campaign finance to a commission made up of three Republicans and three Democrats appointed by legislative leaders. With partisan gridlock baked in, that would have effectively killed enforcement of campaign finance laws. Senator Dave Robertson, who introduced the bill, has a history of campaign finance violations and his former chief of staff is under investigation for embezzlement.

The bill designed to strip power from Nessel would have given the legislature authority to intervene in lawsuits challenging unpopular legislation. Campaigning, Nessel said she would not use state resources to fight for laws she sees as unconstitutional, like one that allows adoption agencies to choose not to work with same-sex couples.

Legal experts who spoke with the Guardian said the legislation would have violated the Michigan constitution's separation of powers clause. Snyder appeared to acknowledge that in his veto letter, stating that the executive branch is responsible for managing the "litigation position of the state as an entity".

Snyder's vetoes and Republican ambivalence to some more draconian bills came amid intense opposition from state residents, including some Republicans. Democratic representative Stephanie Chang said that had an impact.

"What's great is that there were so many people paying attention," she said. "There were people at the capitol protesting and watching what was going on … and there were definitely Republicans who decided to vote 'no' because of the conversation."

Still, the GOP took some victories. They included the passage of two bills to gut citizen-initiated legislation to mandate paid sick time and raise the state minimum wage to $12 per hour, for all workers, including those receiving tips, by 2022. Instead, minimum wage will be raised to $12.05 by 2030 and tipped workers' pay will be capped at $3.58 per hour. Republicans exempted around 1 million workers from mandated sick time and cut the number of mandated days from nine to four.

Two citizen-led groups each collected around 400,000 signatures to put the minimum wage and sick time proposals on the November ballot. The GOP made the proposals law in September before gutting them in lame duck. A legal challenge is likely as Democrats contend the state constitution prohibits changes to citizen-initiated laws in the same session.

There were five citizen-led ballot initiatives in 2018. Voters approved proposals to expand voting access, decriminalize marijuana and establish an independent redistricting commission. Republican attempts to alter those proposals mostly failed, but the legislature narrowly passed a new law that will make ballot initiatives far more difficult.

It mandates that no more than 15% of the signatures gathered during a ballot drive can come from any one of the state's 14 congressional districts. That will make progressive ballot initiatives especially challenging since Republicans gerrymandered the congressional map, packing Democratic voters into a small number of districts. Democrats have promised a legal challenge and have said the bill is the most flagrantly unconstitutional of those passed in the lame-duck session.

 The full panoply of corporate marketing is on view with cards promoting enterprises such as "weedmaps", an internet guide to the best dealers, neatly set out on a counter as customers arrive

 What was once a machinists' shop has been given a full make over.  Staff wearing grey t-shirts with the Cultivate logo serve the customers who snake their way up to the bleached wood counters

 And the customers came in vast numbers. Huddled in padded.

Lion kills worker at North Carolina conservation centre US news - Duration: 2:05.

Lion kills worker at North Carolina conservation centre US news

The lion escaped from a locked area and killed staff member as enclosure was being cleaned

The lion escaped from a locked area and killed staff member as enclosure was being cleaned

A lion has killed a worker at a wildlife conservatory in North Carolina after it escaped from a locked space, the center said.

The lion was shot and killed after it attacked the worker in an enclosure that was being cleaned at the Conservators Center in Burlington, it said in a statement.

A "husbandry team" led by a professionally trained animal keeper was carrying out the routine cleaning when the lion somehow got loose. It wasn't clear how the lion left the area that was supposed to be locked, said the center, which will be closed until further notice.

"The Conservators Center is devastated by the loss of a human life today," the statement said.

The center said the lion was shot and killed to allow county personnel to retrieve the injured worker.

"This is an ongoing investigation, we have no further details at this time, and the family has not yet been notified. We will offer more information as we know more," the statement said.

The facility was founded in 1999 and is in Burlington, about 50 miles north-west of Raleigh.

Its website says it began giving public tours in 2007 and gets more than 16,000 visitors annually. It has more than a dozen employees and currently houses more than 80 animals and more than 21 species.

It took in 14 lions and tigers in 2004 to assist the US department of agriculture with caring for animals that were living in "unacceptable conditions."

A message seeking comment was left with a spokesman for the county sheriff's office.
