Mint Director Gets Chile Reception

Yes, I spelled it that way on purpose:

The general manager of the Chilean mint has been dismissed after thousands of coins were issued with the name of the country spelt wrongly.

The 50-peso coins - worth about 10 cents (6p) - were issued in 2008, but no-one noticed the mistake until late last year.

Instead of C-H-I-L-E, the coins had C-H-I-I-E stamped on them.

The coins have since become collectors' items and the mint says it has no plans to take them out of circulation.

Coin collectors love misprinted coins. They can generate some big bucks. Maybe Obama should have our mint make some errors on purpose so they can be sold for a huge profit and then he won't have to tax the middle class.
