Well… it’s ALL bats to me!
U.S. Mint, 2020 Washington Quarter
Many theories have been advanced to explain the origins of the novel COVID-19 coronavirus that emerged in Wuhan, China, in late 2019, ranging from the prosaic finding that it was merely a natural mutation to the conspiratorial claim that it was a bioweapon created in a Chinese laboratory. One much-discussed possibility was that the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus originated in bats and made the jump from bats to humans through an intermediate species.
One of the more far-fetched conspiratorial takes on the coronavirus’ origins held that the issuance of a new U.S. quarter in 2020 picturing bats on its reverse was a clue indicating that COVID-19 was “government made” as part of a plot to “kill the masses and start a new world”
