Mr. CNN Copy Editor? I'd Like To Introduce You To Mr. CNN Photo Editor

From CNN/Money.com's article about the just-announced new presidential dollar coins, a little bit of misinformation in the inevitable "history of failure" paragraph on the flop Susan B. Anthony dollar coin:
They even hyped its design -- the 11-sided polygon (a hendecagon) was meant to mark a clear difference between the coin and all others.
It's fun to use big words, isn't it? But the coin was, of course, perfectly round. And if you aren't sure, you can just scroll to the top of the article and see it for yourself:


It's great that the folks at CNN/Money know so much about money. But they don't know very much about... you know... dollars.
