Launch ...

To release is also to launch, to send off.

Write a book and then wonder how to launch it —how to round up readers.

Have an idea and find backers to launch your idea.

Take a chance and launch a new magazine.

In 1999 the United States Mint launched a ten year program honoring the fifty states. Each state quarter had its ten weeks coming out party and then was never reproduced again. Five a year. Imagine the collectors of mint quarters. According to a report issued by the Mint Director 130 million Americans collect the State Quarters.

How can billions of quarters accrue in value? Seize the error.

In 2004 —the Wisconsin State Quarter error— an extra cornstalk leaf on the 2004-D coin ( minted in Denver). If a collector lusts after a coin with an extra leaf it will cost several hundred dollars.

If you find a malformed coin, an off-center coin, it will cost upwards of $100.

People launch some strange inventions— an Amphibious bicycle, called The Cyclomer, was introduced in Paris in 1932.

In 2012 someone created a bedtime reading quilt made up of several layers and on each layer a different story.

Write a book and then wonder how to launch it—
Release a synopsis on a bath towel.
