Okay great, let's start here:
1. Random slabbed collection of out of circulation US coins! My favorite is the steel penny, circulated only in 1943 when WWII limited US copper availability.
2. 1957-A Silver Certificate, the last printing year before the Federal Reserve Note replaced it
(More in 🧵)

Before WWII, the language of science was German. Scientific papers were published in German. International conferences happened in German. After the Nazis gutted research and exiled scientists fled to the USA, that language became English.

For decades, Greebles have been used as stimuli in psychology studies on facial recognition. Greebles come in five families (Samar, Galli, Osmit, Radok and Tasio) and two genders (plok and glip).
Though nobody is sure where they come from, science owes these odd creatures an enormous debt.
