U.S. Mint rolls out a new penny
« on: February 25, 2010, 07:03:25 PM »

Quote
Those of you who still use the penny as currency (rather than as a screwdriver or for scratching off lottery tickets) may soon notice America’s 1-cent coin has gotten a facelift.
 
The U.S. Mint has changed the design for the reverse -- or “tails” -- side of the 2010 Lincoln Cent, which entered circulation on Feb. 11 (everywhere but Puerto Rico, which received the new penny in late January). Michael White from the U.S. Mint says penny inventory is very high, however, so you may not see a new penny right away.
 
The U.S. Mint kicked off the release of the new penny during a ceremony at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum in Springfield, Ill. The design was chosen out of 18 candidates. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner made the final call.

I don't like sports. 

I pay extra attention to boobies to make up for it.

Heh.  Sounds about right.  BF is a gear head, and couldn't be bothered.  I have to sneak away to get my football fix.

No we won't.  By the time Glorious Leader is finally lifted up out of his mortal office, none of us will be able to afford metal based curencies.  One penny will be about equal to $70 quadrillion 0bamabucks.

Only in a capitalist society can you even dream about such things.
