What does FUGIO mean in Scrabble?
noun
historical
An early copper coin of the United States, issued in 1787 and traditionally regarded as the first coin authorized by Congress.
Fugio takes its name from the Latin word meaning I flee, which appeared on the coin next to a sundial and the motto Mind Your Business, a design credited to Benjamin Franklin. The coin is called a fugio cent by collectors, and surviving examples are prized because of the design and the early date rather than any face value. The name has stayed attached to the coin itself and is rarely used for anything else in English.
