Is central valley the largest valley in California?
California's Central Valley is a large, flat valley that dominates the central portion of California. It is home to California's most productive agricultural areas. The valley stretches approximately 450 miles (720 km) from northwest to southeast inland and parallel to the Pacific Ocean coast. Its northern half is referred to as the Sacramento Valley, and its southern half as the San Joaquin Valley.[1] The Sacramento valley receives about 20 inches of rain annually, but the San Joaquin is very dry, often semi-arid desert in many places.
The two halves meet at the huge Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta of the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers, which along with their tributaries drain the majority of the valley. The Delta is a large expanse of interconnected canals, streambeds, sloughs, marshes and peat islands. The Central Valley covers an area of approximately 22,500 square miles (58,000 km2), making it slightly smaller than the state of West Virginia and about 13.7% of California's total area.

How much is a California 1835 gold coin worth?
Curious piece and certainly of interest since it is not a US coin and gold had not been discovered in California and would not be for another thirteen years, Spain had no California Mint and no use for one. Mexico had no Mint in California. A private mint is unlikely for that year, so the best bet is: # It isn't the real McCoy. # It isn't even Gold. # It is something out of a Cracker Jack box, or # It is a priceless numismatic find which is highly unlikely. Check it out with an authority because US pennies are about the only thing that are collected in this household.

Why do Yanks drive on the right handside with steering wheel on left?
It isn't about a vehicle being "american" or not. It's about which side of the road the vehicle is expected to be driven on. You can find right-drive Fords just as you can find left-drive Jaguars.
Steering wheel placement aims to put the driver closer to the middle of the road. Some countries decided differently WRT which side of the road to drive on. Cars made to be used in right-side-traffic have the steering wheels to the left, while cars made to be used in left side traffic have the steering wheel to the right.
