Sweet! The new vending machines at work not only have some decent sandwiches and other real food for if I'm in bind and can't leave for lunch, but they also give out $1 change in Pocahontas coins!

I *** hate em. When in Canada and paying for a $2+ item with a ten I hated getting a pocket full of coins in change. :mad: I hate the added weight in my pockets and the jangling of them. I don't want to carry a purse for my change.

But in Canada the $5 bill had a picture of kids playing pond hockey! I'd much rather have that then a pocketfull of Loonies and Toonies! ($1 and $2 coins for the uninitiated)

And John Adams is no hoser. If you went to a decent high school that taught US History instead of how to milk a cow, you'd know that. :p

The canadian 5 is pretty badazz.

And yes, I know who John Adams is, this what the winky face was for. :p

FTR, I was only one of about 4 students in my class that grew up on a farm, we really weren't an agricultural focused high school at all. The other small towns surrounding where I grew up were like that, but not my school. My high school almost dropped FFA when I was a student.

Mornin' Lodge.

Well, last day of the week for me!

I get to see a couple of friends I haven't seen in over two months tonight, and the rest of this weekend. These two are two of my best friends. To say I'm excited would be an understatement!:p

goldy, good too hear things went well for jr!

Edit: I was looking at my CP, and I noticed that my birthday was listed as December 15, 1963...:confused: My birthday is monday, the 14th, and somehow it was changed? What did board do?!

It is kind of surprising that the US treasury doesn't make us use them more. Other than stuffing them into strippers G-strings, there's not really any more advantages to dollar bills than to Dollar coins. Dollar coins are a lot easier to us at a vending machine.

I'm with goldy on this though, no one wants three bucks in change in their pockets. Carrying around coins is generally a nuisance.

There is that, but the trick is to remember to spend the change when you can. That's what I learned to do when I was in Europe, and that was before they rolled out with the Euro, so I realized to do that often with the 7 different types of monopoly money instead of 1.

That and they say the coins would last longer and save the US treasury a whole lot of money in not having to replace dollar bills so often.

Yes, but you can't change coins. So the Chinese can't buy our debt with coins.
