"The U.S. Mint has designed a folder for collecting and displaying the county pennies. The cardboard murals, measuring 8 feet by 35 feet, will be available at most Walgreens stores, or directly from the Mint by mail for $4.95 plus $179 for postage and handling." Everything in their online and print versions is satire or parody of real events Edited by biokemist6 08/02/2006 4:46 pm Report this Post to the Staff
scoutjim99 Pillar of the Community United States 4589 Posts	Posted 08/02/2006 4:08 pm Starting in 2006, the U.S. Mint will release five new pennies per year for the next 629 years. While the process will be a long one, residents of the nation's 3,143 counties and county equivalents have already begun debating how their regions should be depicted. Are you kidding me. 629 years this is crazy. I think the idead is good as I like to collect such things. however 629 years seems like just another gimmic and a waste of tax payer money.... please tell me this is a Parody or some kind of joke right Edited by scoutjim99 08/02/2006 4:11 pm Report this Post to the Staff
