Reference excerpt

The Library of Congress bimetallic eagle is a modern U.S. commemorative coin issued in the ten dollar denomination. It is the first gold and platinum bimetallic coin to be issued by the United States Mint. It was issued in proof and business strike qualities. The issue price was $425 for the proof version and $405 for the uncirculated (business strike) version.

Design The bimetallic coin design was inspired by the graceful architecture of the library's Jefferson Building. The outer ring is stamped from a sheet of gold, then a solid core of platinum is placed within the ring. Then, the gold ring and platinum core are simultaneously stamped forming an annular bead where the two precious metals meet. The obverse depicts the hand of Minerva, the Goddess of Wisdom, raising the torch of learning aside the dome of the Thomas Jefferson Building. The coin's reverse is marked with the Library of Congress seal encircled by a laurel wreath, symbolizing its national accomplishment.

Specifications Mintage (max.): 200,000 (all options). The final mintages were 7,261 uncirculated, and 27,445 proof. U.S. Mint Facility: West Point, NY Public Law: 105-268

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Library of Congress bimetallic eagle

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Library of Congress bimetallic eagle claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Library of Congress bimetallic eagle before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Library of Congress bimetallic eagle ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Library of Congress bimetallic eagle

In research: Library of Congress bimetallic eagle appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Library of Congress bimetallic eagle in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Library of Congress bimetallic eagle is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Bi-metallic coins, Coin stubs, Currencies introduced in 1999, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Library of Congress bimetallic eagle outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
