1. LISTEN AGAIN TO PART OF THE LECTURE. THEN ANSWER THE QUESTION. 
 (Professor) 
Now, one of those names it’s known by, the Fugio coin, came from the 
Latin word Fugio, which is on the front of the coin. Um…that’s Latin for, “I 
fly.” Now, the other name, the Franklin coin, was given to the coin 
because Benjamin Franklin was on it, right? 
WHY DOES THE PROFESSOR SAY THIS: 
 (Professor) 
Now, the other name, the Franklin coin, was given to the coin because 
Benjamin Franklin was on it, right? 
2. LISTEN AGAIN TO PART OF THE LECTURE. THEN ANSWER THE QUESTION. 
 (Student 1)
No, it was called the Franklin coin because Franklin was given credit for 
the wording on the coin. 
(Professor) 
That’s right. I see somebody did the recommended reading. I’m always 
impressed when some of you manage to do the supplemental reading as 
well. I commend you for going the extra mile. 
WHAT DOES THE PROFESSOR MEAN WHEN SHE SAYS THIS: 
 (Professor)
I commend you for going the extra mile.

OK, great. Now, “Mind your business,” and “Fugio”… “I fly”—what would 
Franklin have meant by these words? 
(Student 3) 
Was he referring to individual states’ rights? Like, “Mind your own 
business”… uh, meaning pay attention to your own problems, but stay 
out of mine? 
(Professor) 
It’s funny you should say that, Laura, because the same possible 
interpretation just occurred to me this morning. But, actually the wording

meant something more along the lines of “take care of your business”… 
um, “your work.”
