schwayze sounded like good boffin' tunes on late night last week.

I love the Sacajawea dollars.  One of my friends calls them "doubloons" because they're gold.  I like them because you can tell how many bucks you have in your pocket without looking, and they make people smile when you pay with them.

[CortJstr]

So you guys are aware we switched from Sacajawea coins to presidential ones, right?

[jaydub]

Are they still gold coloured at least?

[CortJstr]

Are they still gold coloured at least?

Yup. And Reagan will even get one. So there's that to look forward to.

Has anyone seen a William Henry Harrison presidential coin? He was my favorite president and I have yet to catch his coin.

I thought they were releasing them 5 per year like they did with the quarters.  Are they up to Harrison already?

[oball]

I got a bunch of American dollar coins from a train ticket machine on Long Island when I visited your country in August.  Most of them were the ones with Sacajawea, but I also have a John Adams, a Thomas Jefferson, a James Monroe, a John Quincy Adams, and an Andrew Jackson.

I like the presidential coin idea because it makes your coins like Pokémon.  Andrew Jackson, I choose you!

[jaydub]

Gonna have to wait a while for that Reagan one.

That spotlight stealing Tyler never gives up does he? The people need to know of the great William Henry Harrison, not this Tyler jerk!

Seriously, when Hawaii and Alaska finally got slotted into their places on the state board it seemed like an eternity had ended for me.

I thought DC and the territories were last, not HI and AK.

I have seen and spent his coin.

I gave you a can because I thought this was really clever. But it turns out you actually have seen and may well have spent his coin. I wasn't aware of this series, see. But still, you got a can!

[miles]

but then again, maybe this is because I spend too much on drunk snacks anyway. In St Louis i have not yet found a place in walking distance that will serve me cheese fries within walking distance of my place. In Paris... that was not an issue.
OK, maybe not cheese fries, but "sandwich grec" (like a less-great gyros) and french fries.

Salt Lake isn't as bad of a place to drink as you all may have heard (or maybe it is) but one thing we do lack is late night snacking. I just remember in Germany it was super easy to find döner late at night which is awesome.

If you like low-alcohol beer, Salt Lake is indeed a great place to drink!

Concur on döner, though.  Why the hell don't we have that in the States?

Seriously, it is impossible to find here. Even if you do find something with the same name, it's not the same. At least out west. There is a place in LA (Eagle Rock?) called Spitz that does pretty well, and it is very good, but not quite there.

And if you don't mind drinking it bottled, there is normal beer in Utah. I have several empties to prove it. We also have two excellent beer bars in Salt Lake (by beer bars I don't mean the kind, soon to be obsolete I imagine because of new and improved liquor laws, that only serve low-point beer, but full bars with robust imported and domestic beer selections). Two whole bars! We're making serious progress here.
