Not really. Every few years, the government decides that the public wants dollar coins (as evidenced by the fact that we have rejected all previous ones). When nobody wants them, they can’t figure out why.
The only place I ever see dollar coins is at the post office when I put a $20 in the machine to buy a book of stamps and have to get 11 of the damn things as change. They go into my daughter’s piggy bank where I swap them out for real money.
Litoris, one of my biggest regrets is that I did not spend much, if any, time with you when we had our gathering. Your posts are a riot! I hope that you are a writer despite the dyslexia. (Er…lexdysia?)
The only drivebys that I do are concertina solos strictly as acts of revenge. I hope we meet again!
Your comments about Southerners are very fair. Finally! Someone who tells it like it is!
I don’t have the patience for this. When I find the leavings from our local tract passer in the restroom at work, I just toss 'em out.
What’s the point of placing tracts on the urinals anyway?* If you believe, does your enlarged prostate magically shrink?
*This could explain some, but hardly all instances of bad aim.
You are so kind. The funny thing is, growing up, I spent a lot of time up North (Michigan, mainly) and “learned” to trash Southerners. As I got older and began to really be a people watcher, I found that as a whole, I prefer Southerners to any other group – the tendency to be polite, even in the face of overwhelming idiocy, is one of the biggest redemptions of the Southern temper.
I believe I would love a concertina solo drive-by – that would crack me up (you definitely must learn the Mr. Grinch song for those!). Unfortunately, I was unable to make it to the last gathering, but I hope we do another one soon, I think I would really enjoy putting a face/voice with the names.
That’s handy for when you run out of TP.
Stalls, actually. And I assumed the point was just to catch us with our pants down.
I considered that, but it was heavy paper stock and I figured it would clog the plumbing.
I always make it a point to gather up the trash someone left behind, tear it into pieces, and put it in the trash can.
I had a stack of religious pamphlets fall off a urinal and into it. I thought I’m glad I don’t have to remove those.
Harmonious Discord, what if you found that there were one hundred dollar bills tucked inside each one? Just curious…
Or
“I’m talking to Jaysus now… he says good work on spotting the evil coins and he wants you to do whatever is necessary to join Him in heaven, ASAP”.
Waters? What waters? We’re in the desert. 
You should have told him you forgot your glasses, could he please read the total to you.
It reminds me of the time I was in Manchester with Ulster banknotes. Ulster and Scotland banknotes are different from English but are generally interchangeable. In a bar a guy held up my Ulster note and said “Is this fake?” to which I replied “Usually when they’re counterfeiting a note they try to make it look like the original.” He was happy enough and completed the transaction.
This would have made my husband howl with laughter.
Hie thee to Bakersfield.
[del]It’s a good point and does take away some of the OP’s credibility.[/del] Never mind, she stated up front it was a weak pit.
And I haven’t seen any dollar coins around here at all.
They’re fixing it in 2009! Here are the images for the new issues; they’ve added IN GOD WE TRUST to the front, totally cluttering the design:
Those are horrid! I do kind of like the Native American coins, but want to know wht she’s got to be planting?!?
“I was mis-informed.”
