day #141 Vermontis

Before Vermont became the 14th state in 1791, it was a country that abolished slavery, operated a post office, and for today's design: had currency called "coppers." Which shares a moniker with the common containers used to make beer. Coppers were used because of their ability to transfer heat and the surface is best for the boiling process. The Republic of Vermont's coins were inscribed with "stella, quatra, decima", meaning "the fourteenth star", which represented itself amongst the first 13 colonies of the United States.
