Or just a picture of money with the title TAXES. How about a photo of Al Capone on the Obverse and a Gun for the reverse. Could have a picture of a person with his hand in a ballot box. Or a tombstone on both sides of the coin. Report this Post to the Staff

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 03/07/2018 5:32 pm Should have a toll booth on the obverse. The only state that you pay more in toll fees over gas prices. Report this Post to the Staff
