1. Make a complete set with the Princess Di, Obama, and 9/11 coins

Edited on Sun May-29-11 03:45 AM by JohnnyRingo

"a non-monetary proof of idiocy".

I can imagine how many people will be at grandma's will reading only to find out she discovered a way around the "limited to ten sets" rule they always claim and inherited a box of tin and pot metal disks.

On edit: i see these are the US dollars that have either been painted or had a sticker applied like the Obama coins a couple years ago. Still worth a buck.

"Free flag pin"!!

2. I am never (any longer) amazed at what people make money off of.

It's like they can't make the ticky-tacky fast enough.

17. Remember the Obama election commemorative coins?

They turned out to be nothing but quarters with stickers printed on them. :eyes:

8. I know.

And that is just one of the reasons I don't like it. They actually called it a US dollar in the ad, which is BS.

9. That's the day the SEALs got Osama bin Laden.

At least the coin didn't have Bush in his flight suit on one side and Osama's corpse on the other.

13. Don't you just love it?

No gold content. No silver content. But, high quality, colored stickers are used to make this a true keepsake coin.

12. Perfect!

...and it should be spelled out on the coin exactly the way you have it in your subject line:

"Mission Accomlished"

Yep, that would be perfect. :evilgrin:

21. Stupid. It is as of yet nothing more than a turning point.

When we are still in Afghanistan years from now, it will be as flat and calloused as dubya's mission accomplished.
