Or maybe I'm missing a sarcastic tone from Victoria.

She was being totally sarcastic.

I have a bit of a tin ear to that sometimes.  Even in person.

Today at his job, someone asked my roommate whether their coffee is gluten-free. At least I have been spared that.

REFUSE NEW COINS
True Americans will refuse these
This simple action will make a strong statement.

Please help do this.. Refuse to accept these when they are

handed to you.

I received one from the Post Office as change and I asked for a

dollar bill instead.

The lady just smiled and said 'way to go' , so she had read

this e -mail.

Please help out..our world is in enough trouble

without this too!!!!!


U.S. Government to Release
New Dollar Coins


You guessed it
'IN GOD WE TRUST' IS GONE from the front and back!!!

If ever there was a reason to boycott something,
THIS IS IT!!!!

DO NOT ACCEPT THE NEW DOLLAR COINS
AS CHANGE

Together we can force them out of circulation..

Train station ticket machines spit these things out like slot machines for change. I wonder if they would just leave a pile of money in the hopper.

All True Americans, eh? I know a lot of Southern good ol' boys who consider themselves True Americans and would certainly be part of the target audience of this message...but I'm not sure they're approve of the way "In God we Trust" came to appear on most of our money if they took 20 seconds to check Wikipedia...

"Aspirations for the motto arose surrounding the turmoil and heightened religious sentiment that existed during the Civil War. The Reverend M. R. Watkinson, as part of a campaign initiated by eleven northern Protestant Christian denominations in a letter dated November 13, 1861, petitioned the Treasury Department to add a statement recognising "Almighty God in some form in our coins."[7] At least part of the motivation was to declare that God was on the Union side of the Civil War.[8] According to Brian Burrell, the actual wording of the motto was inspired by a Union Civil War unit's company motto.["

So Americans are getting worked into a lather about same sex marriage and dollar coins, eh?  What is this the 1980's? 2005?

Wait until you catch up to us and get worked into a lather about the assisted suicide debate and the demise of the penny.

1) open a p.o. box under the name Ulysses Stanton Mint
2) alter that text from paul to say that everybody, in protest, should send their dollars to U.S. Mint - and provide that box #
3) get that shit forwarded everywhere
4) profit

I had a weird moment the other day when I realized the baby I'm carrying will never know a world with pennies.  Pennies were always a part of childhood to me.  Adults didn't care about them, you could find them lying on the sidewalk, and yet, with one you could get a bit of candy from a machine, or save enough of them up and you could go to the store and get a nice jolt of sugar.  The penny candy store!  Long gone.  Sigh.

Yesterday I had a parking meter (which I put a dollar coin into) spit out a nickle in change as I had parked in a spot that would be free in 55 minutes.  I thought I was terribly quaint that it gave me back my nickle.  I haven't noticed, can you get a gumball for a nickle these days?

I do find it hilarious that some morons think it matters whether the money says 'In God We Trust,' but I thought of something even more hilarious; is this even true? I haven't googled the snopes on this.

Edit: Nope, it's bullshit.

Posted along with a picture of a US$2 bill...

It's a reasonably funny story, I guess, but can somebody tell me what a couple of young kids not recognizing a bill that comprises less than 1% of the bills in circulation has to do with the recent election?

Side note: the artwork on the back side of the Deuce is a reproduction of a painting by a direct ancestor of mine. The original is in the rotunda of the national archives, I go see it whenever I'm in D.C.
Story is bull because 7 layer burritos cost more than $1.04 at the cheapest Taco Bell franchises. ~1.79.
