Cool cash
The U.S. treasury lost a court case to a group of blind petitioners who want bills to look more different from one another. While the mint protested that redesigning money would cost too much, it has had great fun redesigning the U.S. 25-cent piece every 10 weeks since 1999. What’s your favorite? While I love all the horses and buffalo, this one takes the cake. Not because of the cheesy “courage” slogan, nor because the mint pressed this coin even as it defended itself against the court case decided yesterday. Rather, I like that it’s the first time I’m aware of that a Socialist has shown up on U.S. currency.
