The Flying Eagle Penny was made for only a few years right before the Indian-Head penny. This penny was produced from 1856 to 1858 and was the first small cent coin in the United States. It featured a flying eagle on the obverse side and a wreath on the reverse side. The design of the Indian-Head penny was introduced in 1859, replacing the Flying Eagle Penny.

The 1922-D Mercury dime never existed because the Denver Mint did not produce any dimes with the "D" mintmark in that year. The other options (1916-S, 1919, and 1939-S) are all valid years and mintmarks for Mercury dimes.

The 1864 Two Cent Piece was the first U.S. coin to bear the motto "In God We Trust". This motto was added to U.S. coins during the Civil War, as a reflection of the religious sentiment of the time.

Gold coins with a "C" mint mark were produced in Charlotte, NC. This is indicated by the letter "C" in the mint mark. The other cities listed (Cleveland, OH; Chicago, IL; Carson City, NV) do not have a "C" in their names or initials, so they are not the correct answer.

John Sinnock is the correct answer because he was the designer of the Roosevelt dime. Sinnock was an American sculptor and engraver who served as the Chief Engraver of the United States Mint from 1925 until his death in 1947. He was responsible for designing several coins, including the Roosevelt dime which was first minted in 1946 to honor President Franklin D. Roosevelt after his death. The design features a profile of Roosevelt on the obverse and an olive branch, torch, and oak branch on the reverse.

In 1971, Great Britain replaced their old pounds, shillings, and pence system with a decimal system. This change was made to simplify the currency system and bring it in line with the decimal system used by many other countries.

This change also facilitated international trade and financial transactions, as it aligned with the decimal system used in most other countries.
