...he said it was grandmas.

He pulled out a prez. dollar, not realizing the dates on the coin were the prez's term of office. Heartbreaking.

    The last coin for 2011 is Garfield, who died in 1881.

    yes... and then it will be time for the senators and congressmen(women) followed by the governors... eventually they might get to the dog catchers and housing inspectors... that is if our economy lasts that long... image

    Folks won't know for another 4 years! By then we'll be off of the paper buck and everybody will know what these coins are.
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.



    The name is LEE!

    Don't know what is might look like but I think the idea of her on a coin kind of sucks, don't you?

    I recall seeing an appropriate image of her in one of the copper token threads the other day.

    Has anybody figured out yet what it is he has, since the McKinley (1897-1901) aren't out this year? One of those big brass medals I'll bet.

    No it was definitely a prez $.

    But maybe it said 1897-1901? My eyes are old.image

    Anyway, you get the point... the point being the average citizen isn't really on board...Oh, I mean...down with that.

    edit: It also occurred to me that maybe Grandma was down with that, and that she duped her grandson!?
