Is It Me, Or is the New Dollar Coin Too Big?
Change purse makers around the world cringed everywhere as the US Mint unveiled the new dollar coin which will feature, surprisingly, some dead presidents. Pictured above are the coins. Too get an idea of how big those coins just look at the picture above. Either those are the smallest people I have ever seen, or the new dollars coins are too big. Seriously, how am I going to carry that around? And how is something bigger than a sombrero only worth a dollar?
The US Mint has obviously gone crazy. Now, if those are made out of chocolate, forget everything I have said so far. I would gladly pay that much for chocolate that size. But I don’t think we are that lucky, America. So count me out. If something costs under five dollars I’ll use four quarters, or um, oh yeah, a dollar. You know, the dollar bill? We already have that. Sure most of them smell like Turkish baths and stale cocaine, but it fits nicely into a wallet and into vending machines. When I get off this boat, some letters will be written, and my voice will be heard. Some how this violates my civil liberties. Sorry, my next post will be more positive, unless the Postal Service issues a stamp the size of um a … post office.
