":’) Here at GGG we thought it would be good to lend the story some currency. ;’)"

True but, it ought to make cents too.

And here I thought getting a bicentennial quarter with my change back from a cup of coffee the other day was special...

Hey, we should treasure all of these topics, even those which are centsless.

The other side’s got Helen Thomas’ picture on it.

Thanks for the ping!

I got back a 1911 wheat cent in my change sometime in january. I wouldn’t have noticed except I dropped it on the floor and then looked at it more carefully. I guess it is worth a couple bucks. Not much, but it was kind of cool to get a coin nearly a century old.

I agree, it ought to make cents, but I can’t make heads or tails out of it.
