How to detect fake Morgan Dollar

Morgan dollar is a true American gem which minted between 1878 to 1904 and 1921 with around one ounce of silver. Due to its design and recent interest in the silver metal, there are a lot of interest from the counterfeit coin manufacturers to fake this dollar. Here are few tips to make sure that you dont buy fake Morgan dollar.

1- Measure the weight, always. Regardless of the mint year and location, Morgan dollar should always weigh 26.37 grams. If there is a significant weight difference (say, 24 grams, etc), it is a good proof that the Morgan dollar is fake.

2- Look at the quality of mint. If the surface of coin is not smooth an has a lot of gas bubbles, it can be cast and it is more likely fake. Here is a genuine coin that weighs 26.35 grams.

With these small tips, you can always prevent buying fake Morgan dollars.

Here is a useful Matlab code to simulate a password that contains, numbers, letters and special characters. You can save the file as makePass.m or remove the function line and execute without function mode. Enjoy.

function pass=makePass;

pool={'1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','0','a','b','c','d','e','f','g','h',...
        'i','j','k','l','m','n','o','p','r','s','t','u','v','w','y','z','!','@','#','$','%','^','&','*'};

aa(:,1)=sin(2*pi*440*x); %do
aa(:,2)=sin(2*pi*9/8*440*x); %re
aa(:,3)=sin(2*pi*5/4*440*x); %mi
aa(:,4)=sin(2*pi*4/3*440*x); %fa
aa(:,5)=sin(2*pi*3/2*440*x); %so
aa(:,6)=sin(2*pi*5/3*440*x); %la
aa(:,7)=sin(2*pi*15/8*440*x); %ti
aa(:,8)=sin(2*pi*2*440*x); %do2
%z=[do re mi fa so la ti do2];

zz=ceil(rand(1,8)*8);
zzz=ceil(rand(1,8)*8);
ps=aa(:,zz(1))'*0;

z=[aa(:,zz(1))'  aa(:,zz(2))' aa(:,zz(3))'  aa(:,zz(4))' aa(:,zz(5))'  aa(:,zz(6))' aa(:,zz(7))'  aa(:,zz(8))' ps ps ps ps ...

How to access email attachments blocked in Outlook

If someone sends you an email with an attachment with .mdb, .exe, .bas extensions, Outlook probably blocks them due to default security settings. Here are the tips how to access those files:

In Windows run “regedit” and find the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Outlook\Security (change 10.0 to 9.0 for Outlook 2000 SP3 or to 11.0 for Outlook 2003)
After clicking this key, create a new string value under this directory: Level1Remove.
As the value of this string, write down the extensions of the files that you would like to access: For .exe files, type:
.exe
For multiple attachment extensions, type:
.exe;.bas
Save and restart the Outlook. You should be able to access the attachment.
