Jefferson at least has a bit of a grin.
Ha! You're right Dana.

Thrive to spite them
If the US really wants to switch over to dollar coins then they need to stop making dollar bills to force the switch.
Unless this isn't about changing currency and just making something for people to collect.

Punishingly Intricate
James Madison looks like Ron Perlman done up in his Beauty and the Beast makeup.
Not everyone can be a Hamilton-level hottie.

Exactly! Once they make everyone switch over to coins (and get the vending machine companies to accept them, as well), then they'll get full usage.
The boss just sent e-mail telling the two of us here at the suburban office to take off whenever we feel we have to. I told her I'll leave in an hour or so, while I can still see the roads somewhat clearly.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Huh. These new coins don't have "In God We Trust" on them. (That phrase was only added in the early '50s, as part of our struggle against godless communism.)

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
If the US really wants to switch over to dollar coins then they need to stop making dollar bills to force the switch.
And the dollar coins need to be more easily distinguishable from quarters. (Say what you will about the Susan B. Anthony and Sacajawea dollar coins, my opinion is that their nod to differentiation wasn't great enough.)

Frak. I don't think I've ever gotten off work due to snow - the perils of always taking public transportation or else living within walking distance of work.
Wait, I take that back. When we in Minneapolis got our 30" of snow, I missed a few days of work because I was on crutches and literally could not leave our block, as I was unable to climb the piles of snow along the sidewalk due to plowing and had to wait for people to dig paths through them.

I thought that was when "Under God" was put into the pledge. Wasn't "In God We Trust" added to coinage in the 1860s?
