1. I'll be refusing to take coins printed of Hoover, Raygun, GHWB and GWB

Instead, I'll ask for 4 quarters or 2 2-bit, but not these morons.

I'd actually LOVE to see Congress revoke priveleges of these 3 presidents and 1 Resident to be stamped into a coin.

2. The $1 coin will be worthless by the time it's issued, but Bush is worthless now.

6. Is there a Nixxxon coin?

hard to believe there is. If we can pursue criminal charges beyond January, we may be able to avoid a bush coin.

7. I might keep one of each, for the sake of a complete collection.

But I sure as Hell won't circulate them. And won't accept them aside from the one for collectibility.

Don't even have any of the Presidential coins yet. I imagine I could get them at the post office. Last time I bought stamps from a machine there, it spit out Sacajawea dollars like a Vegas slot machine. I spent those, because I think a dollar coin is basically a good idea - long as there are no Bush Crime Family members on it.

10. I gave a clerk a Sacajawea coin as payment & she asked me for more money to cover my bill.

When I pointed out that I had given her a dollar coin, not a quarter, she challenged me to the point that I had to ask management to go through her quarters & find the dollar coin I had given her. I left with the feeling that not only the clerk, but management too, considered me a nuisance customer.

:eyes:

It's legal fucking currency! Is it my fault we didn't make it as distinguished as the Loonie & the Toonie?

8. Give them to the homeless.

Give them to people on the streets or the subway who ask for spare change.
That bastard and his ugly face could finally do some good for once.

9. It says that he must be dead for two years to make it

on the coin. To be honored with a coin he must pass away within the next 9 years.

12. Hyperinflation will render a $1 coin worthless.

Edited on Thu Jul-17-08 08:22 PM by roamer65

I doubt we will make it all the way through the series of coins.

14. Knowing that nobody would want anything to do with those coins...

The US mint decided to make them with depleted Uranium.

BTW here one of the proposed designs:

15. This us HUGH! The coins have ARABIC numerals!

From the Wikipedia site:

This series of coins are the first ever coins of the United States to replace the written value (ie "one", "two") with an Arabic numeral stating the value of the coin.

Why does the US Mint hate our troops?
