    Thankfully, there's a bank here that takes care of me and saves all the special coinage for me to collect.

    And, FWIW, the government smiles a little smile every time one of you pockets one of those suckers. The dollar coin costs eight cents to produce. So every time you take one of those bad boys out of circulation, the government has made 92 cents.

    And if anyone cares ... and is too lazy to look it up themselves ... we're one week away from the release of the JQ Adams one.

    Anybody here ever tried to place a coin in a g-string?

    That's not making it rain; unless she's got a snatch like an Oreck.

    This is America. Our strippers should not have to wear hardhats unless they're doing a naughty construction worker dance.

    Chastity (or Destiny or Candy) to cranberry:

    Hey, is that a roll of James Monroes in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?

    It's going to take a flood of them. Only time I ever get them is in change at a post office machine. Then I'll try to get rid of them in a drive-thru and the 17-year-old kid at the window looks at it as if it was a moon rock.

    I confess, I collect the state quarters. (Well, if collecting is throwing one of each into a can.) Their wild popularity spurred the president coins. But I can't see average folk getting excited to collect a set of dead president heads.

    Yeah, we're still about 1,000 years away from that
