I have found Our Lady of Fatima a great help. The Miracle of the Sun is true. Our Lady was busy in 1917, as in 1920, with the Reds. And, or course, since.

Think of prisoner #16770 at Auschwitz, the Polish priest Maximillian Kolbe. (The Nazis were Reds.) Father Kolbe represents every real Catholic killed by those people. Our Mother was, is, his help.

There is plenty of work yet for us to do. Evil must be restrained each and every minute until all has been fulfilled.

Studied Marshal Pilsudski a little, admire him a lot. I read him as a very humble man, if, say, "a bit irritated" by stupidity and self-absorbtion. Well, maybe more than a "bit irritated", eh?

Do you know this one ?

The image does not show. I'm guessing it's a Susan B Anthony dollar. I haven't seen one in circulation for 20 years or so. Nobody wants to deal with them, since they're very easy to confuse with the quarter.

[SAMWolf]

Yeah and everyone here hates it and never uses it. It's too close in size to our quarter and it seems Americans don't like or want a dollar coin.

[Grzegorz 246]

I've got three of them. I read that they weren't popular and that's why I was curious If you know them.
