I can see the extra leaf, but the real crime is that one of the cows looks gay.

You're right, he does look gay.

Oh, but putting the word FORWARD on the reverse is supposed to be OK?? Hmph!

Reminds me of the Mexican license plates that I see all over....at the bottom, some of them say 'Front'....I thought this was funny seeing them on the rear of the cars, until it dawned on me that 'Front' is an abbreviation for one of their states.

All 1966 quarters?

Yes, if you have one thousand nine hundred and ninety six quarters, you have $499.00 worth of them.

They would be very heavy carrying them to the bank though.

As a kid, I used to go thru our family's spare change, looking for those coins publicized as "Rare quarter brings $100,000", etc.

Years ago there was an entertainer in Las Vegas (can't remember who...somebody like Jack Jones) who used to ask for his pay to be in silver dollars; he'd go thru 'em one by one and keep the nuggets aside as an added kicker.

Looks the same to me too. Guess I'd make a lousy coin collector.

Whats the big deal with this ???So what ?

[Ciexyz]

Ah, the old days of silver dollars. My granddad had a few, they were beautiful things. Haven't held one in ages.

In Spanish, frontera means "border."

thats because of Greshams Law http://www.fff.org/freedom/fd0312g.asp
all part of a logical conclusion to our phony fiat money system.....compliments of the privately held Federal Reserve act of 1913... Greenspan knows the difference.. http://www.freerepublic.com/forum/a3b49596420e0.htm ..The Founding Fathers were certainly aware.. Too bad "We the People" don't anymore! as is often stated..if u don't learn from history..you're doomed to repeat it!..Historically fiat money ALWAYS goes to -0-..No exceptions...IMHO..the Fed is now frantacally rearranging the deck chair on the Titanic..trying to postpone the inevitable
