I was in London the year they made the pound coin.  As I recall the bartendes were elated by their windfall from people who left all their change for a tip.  And talk about saggy pants, the weight of twenty pounds in one's pocket is well, darn heavy.  True story. :rofl:

I despise the new dollar coin.  Same size as a quarter for one thing and too heavy to carry.

We converted our $1 and $2 notes to metal some years back.

****ing pain in the ass if you ask me.

Notes are so much easier to carry.

Every once in awhile, they threaten to shove this kind of shit down our throats.

The Susan B Anthony dollar coin from the early Eighties was hated so much (that, along with the "new" $2 bill, which really ain't all that new) that they shoved 'em down the throat of the military.

In Europe.  :whatever:

Pussies. Don't even have the balls to take on the populace.

'Course, now with Barry in charge, he'll shove ANY kind of shit down our throats and the populace will love it.
