What is the Susan B Anthony Dollar? Thanks! Mark Richards 21:24, 14 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

A Susan B Anthony coin is a US one-dollar coin, right? One of those annoying special edition things. I'm not entirely sure. Agkeene 05:06, 16 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It was regular currency for several years and was very unpopular. Most people didn't like to use them because they were too similar in size to the quarter-dollar (and Anthony was homely). The Sacagawea dollar works much better, although people don't generally use it as pocket change.--Syd Henderson 20:22, 20 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed a word of Greek origin

Hendecagon is indeed a word phonetically derived from the greek "Ενδεκάγωνο". I.e. Ένδεκα(Hendeca)=11 and γωνία(gonia)=angle. The final -ia drops out in the English word to facilitate pronunciation. Also in modern Greek the leading "H" is silent. In ancient Greek it sounded more kind of todays English, like a soft "H"

Math equation extends far off page. Can anyone look into a way of fixing this? Beyond my scope. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jhahner18 (talk • contribs) 02:14, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This edit was the culprit. Fixed, thanks. Don't know why nobody else noticed in a year and a half. —David Eppstein (talk) 05:23, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
