Two areas of my geekdom colliding: Paul Lukas, a blogger and columnist for ESPN on the subject of sports uniforms and logos, has done a piece for New Republic on coins

I'm posting the link before I read it myself

Just read it, it's short and to a point, and a touch political.

The topic is nothing new for most readers here, and I would have loved some new suggestions. Always cool to see numismatics go mainstream though!

The story reads like an old Andy Rooney throw away from 60 minutes... no real substance to it. I'd be for updating the coin designs, but I think it makes sense to go back in time to when the coins started and make them non-political and let that ride for 25 years.

Very, very dangerous.

It is okay. But, as a warning, let us avoid expanding on the political portion and keep this to a numismatic topic.
Rest in Peace

The two links posted take you to a number of different sites. Be forewarned as jBuck pointed out.

Links?

Thanks for pointing that out, I missed the first one! I had to remove it, there is a lot of non-family friendly language on that blog.

Wooops, I'll have to remember that if I want to link to a site on here.
Or can I link to things with non-family friendly content so long as I include a warning?

Argentum,

I've been reading non-family-friendly stuff on the interwebs since I was 12 (and much of that stuff was labeled 18+ . . . . I was a bad kid). No warning ever stopped me and in fact it only made me more eager to see what was there. I'd say just don't post it.

I agree with Nina. We would prefer that you do not post any link to any site that is not family friendly.
