Hearing Nothing at the moment. Sometimes I like silence.

Worth a Plug Nickel?

The US mint unveiled the design for the new nickel, and I have to say, I think it's the coolest looking US coin since the Walking Liberty dollar coin. The reverse (in two flavors -- one a buffalo, and one a beach scene) look great, too.

Check out the designs. What do you think of the new look?

I think this coin looks evil and should be pulled.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not another new money thing!!! Most love this stuff, but I work in a bank and if you don't have it as soon as the government says, "here's a new whatchamacallit," the customers are terrible (trust me, some customers go hysterical if you don't have the new stuff right away). Okay government, you can stop making new money designs now!!!!

It still says, "In God we trust." When are they going to change the citizenship tests to reflect the fact that the USA is not a secular society?

Just stirrin' it.
