I love coins. I remember how useful they were when I'd go out drinking in Vancouver BC in my 20's. You'd take a 20 or two (bills), and just shove the change in your pocket. When you ran out of coins, it was time to go home.

That said, Canadian dollar coins ($1 and $2) have distinctive edges - octagonal, weigh and feel different from quarters (even if drunk you knew what they were), and are cool to flip.

Well, that explains it, I suppose.

Do you know that we're running perilously short on silver and copper, and that's why we switched coin alloys to zinc and (whatever the hell we use in place of silver)?

I wonder how the finity of materials will factor into the value of money as time progresses over decades... if governments don't just force us into using e-money as a standard.

OK so your point it what? That evil mining companies occasionally have a good idea?

I miss the real silver Eisenhower dollar coins. Now those were cool to flip.

Interestingly, few people seem to note that Nixon was our last Liberal president.

Fucked up, no?
Think I'm making this up? Examine the facts:

Clinton: Ended welfare. Not Liberal. Period.
Carter: Honest, but didn't do a damn thing. Also doubled military aid to Indonesia during its genocide of the East Timorese
Nixon: FOUNDED the EPA. Tied Social Security to inflation. Implemented the first national affirmative action program. Lowered the Speed Limit to 55. Funded Indonesia BEFORE the genocide of the East Timorese.

{puts on tin foil hat}... {whispers}...i think this is just their attempt to get reagan's face on SOMETHING that has monetary value. president must have been dead two years to be minted? rules out clinton. rules reagan and nixon in. {removes tinfoil hat...}

Seignorage! How many times do I have to mention seignorage? The mining companies might make money, but it doesn't matter because the US Mint makes money too! The more collectors horde these things, the more the Mint makes. This is a good thing for numismatists, the mint, and the mining interests.

I'm glad to see someone stick up for Nixon, one of the most effective and interesting leaders we've ever had. He deserves his own coin as much as anyone.
