Stardust jingles in your pocket!

Why do some coins, like dimes, have ridges (or flutes) and some, like nickels, don’t? Would you believe the answer lies in the COLLISION OF NEUTRON STARS?

Come along on a deep dive into the fascinating history of coins, counterfeiting, and their unique properties — tracing their origin to the heavens above.

Speaking of the heavens, in this special pre-RoshHashana episode you’ll learn the astonishing connection between the change in your pocket and the expulsion of the Jews from England. We will also explore Isaac Newton’s role in the prevention of counterfeiting and his role in the eventual return of the Jews to his homeland.
