How much does a dime weigh? What are pennies made of? Find out in the table below, which gives specifications for U.S. Mint legal tender coins presently in production for annual sets. Specifications for the American Innovation $1 Coins and Native American $1 Coins are the same.
The penny, dime, quarter, half dollar, and dollar are clad coins. Clad coins have an inner core of metal surrounded by an outer layer of a different metal. The Mint makes clad coins with an inner core of copper. The nickel is the only circulating coin that isn’t clad.
Standard for US Driver’s Licenses defines several different barcode standards with over 80 different fields encoded inside a barcode. Some fields exist on all barcode standards, other exist only on some. To standardize the API, we have structured the fields in the following sections:
All barcodes which are using 3-track magnetic stripe encoding used in the interest of smoothing a transition from legacy documents shall be designated as Magnetic.
All barcodes which are using compact encoding compliant with ISO/IEC 18013-2 shall be designated as Compact.
All barcodes (majority) compliant with Mandatory PDF417 Bar Code of the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA) Card Design Standard from AAMVA DL/ID-2000 standard to DL/ID-2013 shall be designated as AAMVA.
USDLScanResult.kStandardVersionNumber
Mandatory on all driver’s licenses.
AAMVA Version Number
This is a decimal value between 00 and 99 that specifies the version level of the PDF417 bar code format. Version “0” and “00” is reserved for bar codes printed to the specification of the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA) prior to the adoption of the AAMVA DL/ID-2000 standard.
All bar codes compliant with the AAMVA DL/ID-2000 standard are designated Version 01.
All barcodes compliant with AAMVA Card Design Specification version 1.0, dated 09-2003 shall be designated Version 02.
All barcodes compliant with AAMVA Card Design Specification version 2.0, dated 03-2005 shall be designated Version 03
All barcodes compliant with AAMVA Card Design Standard version 1.0, dated 07-2009 shall be designated Version 04
All barcodes compliant with AAMVA Card Design Standard version 1.0, dated 07-2010 shall be designated Version 05
All barcodes compliant with AAMVA Card Design Standard version 1.0, dated 07- 2011 shall be designated Version 06

A travel hack from The Points Guy shows how to override preset thermostat limits in a hotel room. | Frommer’s
In a video posted to the travel site’s YouTube channel, Mayerowitz demonstrates how to override the preset temperature limits on one of the most prevalent kinds of wall-mounted thermostats used in hotel rooms: the Honeywell Inncom model pictured at the top of this post.
According to Mayerowitz, all you have to do to take control of the unit is press the buttons labeled “Display” and “Off” at the same time, and then hold down the temperature control button with the arrow pointing up.
When the letters “LEn” (for Limited Energy) appear on the display screen, you’re in, as computer hackers say in movies. Now you can raise or lower the temperature settings at will using the buttons with the arrows pointing up and down.
the hack may not work on the thermostat in your room. Newer models “have more control over thermostat settings thanks to built-in countermeasures put in place by engineers to get around this hack,” according to the article.
However, the original, cheaper Honeywell version remains common in hotels and motels, particularly chains such as Holiday Inn.

“Size F” does not continue the “alphabetic” series, because it does not exhibit the same “aspect ratios”. Sizes G, H, J, and K are roll formats. “G size” is 22.52 inch high, but variable width up to 90 inch in increments of 8.5 inch. Such sheets were at one time used for full-scale layouts of “aircraft” parts, wiring harnesses and the like, but today are generally not needed, due to widespread use of “CAD” (Computer Aided Design) and “CAM” (Computer Aided Manufacturing).
Show “Copy as Path” Always in Right-Click Menu Without Shift Key
This post tells you how to always show the Copy Path option in the right-click menu by default in Windows 10, without needing to press Shift every time.
The much useful “Copy as Path” built-in context menu exists in all versions of Windows. It’s an extended command which means you need to hold down the Shift key to access the extended menu item. Press and hold Shift, and right-click on a file or folder. Click “Copy as Path option” in the context menu. The object’s (file or folder) full path is now copied to the Clipboard.
Here is how the standard “Copy as Path” option appears.
