Tuitsuro:
They pretty much have to be. The price of copper now means that a copper penny would be worth more for the metal than for the penny itself. Not by much, but still enough to make a difference; you'd have people melting down pennies and reselling them to buy more pennies to melt down. Absolute anarchy, I tells ye!

Yet another reason to stop making the damn things.

There, I've officially Godwin'd the thread.

Thats not how it works ... though I definitely love the intention.
I dont see why its such a bad idea to ask for money thats easily distinguishable, even for blind people.
And why its a bad idea to have different colors so even non-blind people can distinguish it more easily ? Doesnt need to be so drastic that it looks like monopoly money.
Personally I prefer artists and philosophers on money, not some politicans. But then again, the USA doesnt have that many really big artists, now, do they ? :evil: Just kidding. They lack classic artists, though. No wonder if a country was founded only some 200+ years ago.

Suit yourself. If a woman has a really beautiful face, short hair can be very cute. Nothing to block the view. :D
I for once loved it on Mena Suvari and Natalie Portman.

is the reference in the title to Dora's new hair, or to Hanner's mom's new pool boy?
--- End quote ---
I definitely vote pool boys. Dora definitely cuts her hair more often than just once every three months.
Three months though is the time one stays in initial love before thinking the whole thing over, so that makes sense. Hanners mom simply grows bored of the pool boy and gets a new one.
--- Quote from: pwhodges on 23 May 2010, 13:09 ---Having several ranges of coins distinguished by metal, thickness and shape is necessary to cover practical needs.
When I was young (i.e. pre-decimalisation in UK) there were two series of coins in common use - copper and silver (though no longer of those metals). Actually, there were three, including the gold ones (sovereign etc, which stayed gold) which were not in common use. But keeping proportionality of size to value (for ease of weighing, and to prevent problems with counterfeiting) meant that the size range for each type was very wide - a silver 3d piece to a silver 5/- piece was a factor of 20:1 in weight, which is why the crown (5/- piece) did not circulate, and the 3d piece was replaced in common use by an anomalous 12-sided coin. Even then, the size range from the 6d ("tanner") to the 2/6 ("half-crown") was considerably wider than we now have to handle.

Thank you for putting a knot in my brain.

Or for introducing a new dollar that has 100-1000 times the value of the old money, so cents actually have a reason to exist at all any more.

Hah, they get that a lot! They're actually 19, been at this a couple of years now. "Vote" by clicking on the sliding scale of stars under the video, visiting their Myspace page and playing the tracks, re-Tweeting the link or sharing on Facebook, pass it on. It's all about generating measurable "buzz".

Although you can take things a little too far...

Oh, god, now Jeph's gonna make Dora hate the purple and shave her head.
