i can believe that americans won't accept it in the long run, we've got enough coins in our pockets already, but refusing it?...only in america would we consider money no-good.

but i'm pretty sure the govn't does this kind of stuff just to soften the masses a bit, like the 15 second feel-good piece on the 6-o-clock news. “everything’s pretty peachy, we're coining money. it's even collectable...could be worth MORE money in the future...and we're honoring our heroes at the same time.” it's all just subliminal propaganda.

we love checking out the new coins we come across, we’ve even got a little collection going of some of the more interesting ones. which reminds me, slightly off-topic … anyone know if it's really illegal to deface money? my girl has a collection of those squished pennies from every place we've ever been that had a penny squisher, and if it's illegal, then why do they have penny squishers in the first place?
