Who designed those Presidential dollar coins?
Honestly. What blind person designed the new Presidential $1 coins? And furthermore, who approved the design. Have you seen them?
George Washington looks like he’s ready to kill someone. John Adams looks like he could star in the next production of CATS. Thomas Jefferson has a major unibrow thing going on and his cheek looks like it’s had a bad botox treatment. And James Madison? What the heck happened to the left side of his face?
Honestly, I like the idea of a dollar coin. I think that the $1 bill is past it’s time and is more of a burden than a boon. They have a really small lifespan when compared to even the next highest bill and besides strippers(sorry. exotic dancers) most places could easily make the switch to the dollar coin. Whats more is that most people empty their change into a coin jar or some such at the end of the day. Imagine how quickly that will build up in value! All those dollar coins in there! The truth is that while I do like the idea, I just don’t think it will get picked up. They’ll do it until they run out of presidents and then they’ll have a different design, but it’ll be mostly for collectors and not for commerce.

ROFLMAO
I looooove your analogies! They are dead on!
Those look scary! I always thought they should come up with a card that held all your different accounts info and when you paid for something you chose which account to pay from. Of course that was before the madness of identity theft came to be.
But thanks for the laugh.

Actually, wouldn’t strippers like it if the Dollar bill went away? I’m thinking guys wouldn’t try to give coins therefore they’d get the next highest bill… (which technically would be two, but how many guys would have the foresight to go order some of those at the bank?) they’d quintuple their income (in theory)

I agree, a dollar coin is a good idea, look at Canada, great dollar coin (the “Loonie”) and I’m sure it saves thier government piles of money (which they can then pump into thier bottomless healthcare pit).
My problem is that these coins look like very badly executed arcade tokens. Come on! don’t you think that SOMEONE must have looked at the designs and compared them to the U.S. coins of the past 75 years?
The look like the 2nd place entrants of a High School “design-a-coin” contest.
I’ll take the paper dollar, please!

This post made me laugh so hard! Your analogies are so awesome, my stomach still hurts from the (explosive) laughter.
But anyway, what are they thinking? These things are complete garbage…I’d be embarrassed to carry them around, seriously…The monkey who designed them should be locked back up in his cage.
“John Adams looks like he could star in the next production of CATS.”
LOL.
