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.
Faith: A kid. Angel's got a kid. Wesley: Connor. Faith: A teenage kid born last year. Wesley: I told you, he grew up in a hell dimension. Faith: Right. And what, Cordelia spent her last summer as… Wesley: A divine being. Faith: Uh-huh. Can I just ask--What the hell are you people doing?

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

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?

They never tell us the office is closed for the day, but they have very rarely sent everyone home early (last I remember was about 10 years ago). Today is manager's discretion as to when to send employees home. With all the people who now work from home or from the office on Peterson and Pulaski to cut down on their commute, we probably won't have too many cases of complete closing of the office anymore.
