Nassarius arcularia, commonly known as the casket nassa or the little box dog whelk, is a species of sea snail in the Nassa mud snail or dog whelk family, Nassariidae. It is found in tropical and subtropical coastal waters across the world, inhabiting muddy areas close to the shoreline. The shell, which is very common, has a thickness of up to 3 centimetres (1.2 inches) and varies in form – for example, in the elongation of the whorls and the longitudinal folds – as well as in color, with some specimens entirely white while others have brown bands. The young of this species have folds and striae that are much more prominent. This composite photograph shows five different views of a N. arcularia shell, with a length of 2.2 centimetres (0.87 inches), that was collected in Madagascar. Photograph credit: H. Zell

The United States coins. A strong feeling had prevailed against using portraits, but public sentiment stemming from the 100th anniversary celebration of Abraham Lincoln 's birth proved stronger than the long-standing prejudice.

The Hawaii overprint notes, an emergency issue of U.S. currency overprinted with the word Hawaii, became the only bills allowed to be used there following the attack on Pearl Harbor. Any money captured by the Japanese if they invaded Hawaii could then be easily distinguished. The bills were introduced on June 25, 1942, and withdrawn effective April 1946; many were destroyed. Shown here is a $1 Silver Certificate, of which 35,052,000 were printed. This bill is scanned from the collections of the National Numismatic Collection at the Smithsonian Institution .
