Monetary Loot.

The first coins of the United States were struck with the portrait of Martha Washington, Mr. Spencer, who cut the first die, copying her features in his medalion. When General Washington saw the coins he was very wroth, and before any more were struck of the features of his wife, were altered somewhat and a cap placed on her head, this being the original of the present Goddess of Liberty.— New York Graphic. ‘
