Go look at some of the old coins. Especially the St. Austin(st. something any way) coins. Liberty and peace coins all had women on them. Of course they were also real silver and gold too. Also the women were only lightly clothed.

ahh i see...we don't want fully clothed women on our money.

at any rate I'm just kidding. I don't like the coins for a more practical reasons that they look like quarters, can't really use them. I don't like the jingle in my pocket either. I don't have a male purse like all the other "men" in Europe so it jingles in my pocket.

Besides i like the idea that i can empty a pocket full of coins into a street musician's hat, or a homeless person's cup. I get the satisfaction of helping someone out, and at the same time not really give much of my money away

Note: by we i mean me, and We are not responsible for any opinions stated in this post. All characters are fictional, any resemblance to real life people is a coincidence
