Starting last summer, in order to better play "Follow the Lead Picture" post, I began to try and fill in date "holes" in my run of US coinage from 1794 - 2017. (Note, this just means, at a minimum, to try and have at least one coin from each date). Needless to say it's still VERY much a work in progress for the earlier years. Here's a Jefferson I picked up last summer to fill in a date hole.
So, what is Tom saying, or is he just blowing smoke? 
The images are by Bob Campbell, and I think he did an excellent job.

Collector, occasional seller
In the best tradition of cartoon dialog balloons, it appears to me that he's saying, "In God We Trust"?
he is expressing his support for decrim

How much face value when you're done?

They grew tobacco at Monticello, so I'd say blowing smoke.
They grew a lot more than that hahaha

Sally would agree with you, Banknotes.
The picture make his grin look extra mellow, so I'm guessing he's thinking about what he wants on his pizza.

Survey of women living in AR were asked if they would ever sleep with Clinton
92% responded- Never again
I don't know what he might be saying, but he better get out of the way of that approaching car with it's headlights on.
I got a $2 bill once that had "I GREW HEMP" stamped in front of Tom's mouth
I used to think it was disrespectful to refer to your United States Presidents by their first names in unfamiliar company.
maybe he's blowing bubbles
Well, I was concerned when I first read the thread title...

not ring toned....
It is just cold out ....
..... well, he could have just had a doobie.... 
Or... they are cartoon balloons for 'oh... oh'...use your imagination.....

I think rolling paper was invented in the 16th or 17th century.

Actually, that was my thought.
