MINT SET ARRIVES A WEE BIT LATE

  A March 12th article in The Hartford Courant describes
  a local couple who received an unusual item in the mail
  recently - the mint set they ordered in 1968.

  "It's amazing that we're still alive to get it," marveled Janice
  Sargent, 85, laughing over the inch-thick, envelope-sized
  package as she and her husband, Warren, sat in their
  apartment in Avon.

  The contents? Four plastic sheets containing freshly minted
  1968 quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies from the
  numismatic division of the U.S. Treasury.
