Sean and Louise Discuss Dollar Coins Even Further
Sean:Sorry, I got sidetracked by all the dollar coin news
Sean:I thought the new ones were all Washingtons
Sean:Not so
Louise:I remember we were dismayed that GW would be on yet more money
Louise:Like he doesn't have enough
Louise:Who else is on them?
Sean:It's four presidents per year through 2016
Sean:So i think we got a batch of 07s
Louise:Whoa!
Louise:That's a great idea, US Mint!
Sean:I'm excited for the Millard Fillmore era
Sean:Hater of the Irish, and the worst politician to ever end up on a coin
Sean:Here's a theory -
Sean:Do you think the new dollar coin plan is simply a way to avoid putting women on currency for ten years?
Louise:It's not a bad theory
Louise:Especially since dollar coins have traditionally been the women's sphere
Louise:Maybe it's Hillary backlash
Louise:She declared she was going to run for pres at the beginning of 2007
Louise:The first year of these new dollar coins
Sean:I imagine an old man at the mint
Sean:Like, a hundred years old
Sean:Shaking his fist and exclaiming, "Like hell, Hillary!"
Sean:I basically imagine the government as an office from the 1940s, as seen in a movie
Sean:"The dames are sure making a big stink about these new coins."
Sean:"Well let's put a dame on the dollar coin. They can use it for laundry! And to buy support hose"
