Slap a pic of JFK on one side and I think we'll be fine.

That would be the 50 cent piece. Didn't work out all that well did it.

I'm holding out for Millard Fillmore. Now THAT was a president.

I'll hold out for Jefferson Davis.

I mean that it's always been that gold is more valuable than silver.

Not true. At one point, so much gold was being brought back to Europe from S. America that the value of gold dropped beneath that of silver.

'Gold' Dollar with Sacajewia (Americans hated it, I think it's out of production, because of...)

The US. is still trying to come up with a Dollar Coin americans will tolerate. They haven't found it yet.

I think the reason the Sacajewia dollar coin failed was the way they distrubted it: essentially by shipping them out to Wal-Marts. wtf mate?! I couldn't even find one at the banks for weeks after they were released!

I love the 'gold pieces.' I try to collect them in my change jar so that when I'm broke I actually have like $50 in coins. That has kept me eating for a week more than once.

While I like our Gold Piece here in Canada (and our Electrum Piece - the twonie - even though it is valued higher than our gold piece), when I was a teen, I received a few 1 pound coins from England. These were nice. About as big as a nickel, maybe a quarter, but about three times as thick if memory serves me. And VERY gold, not the almost gold of the loonie.

In the UK, we've had 'gold' pound coins, 'silvers' and 'coppers' in the same relative denominations as D&D coinage for years. Some of our £1 coins have a dragon on them. There are even rare British £1 coins with a knight on them. We also have the two-tone gold-silver coin. It's worth £2 and is modelled on one of the Euro coins already mentioned in this thread.

I'm pretty sure he was already on some coinage somewhere.....

You might put him on one side & then put "You lost already, get over it" on the other.

Distribute it throughout the south. Won't do any good. Put you COULD do it.
