So the guy looks at it and says can you shoot the BE in liberty on the 1804 dollar! He missed the coin completely It was funny... You know I hadn't seen a coin like that since that night..I wonder where that coin is today?
You know, the crazy guy with that horseless Delorean showed me that 1804 dollar. He said he "deflected the bullet" (?)...and mumbled something about "for the good of posterity" He also told me to "buy IBM stock". What the heck's that?

Yep, that's him...I was almost expecting he'd to try to sell me some little bottle of patent-medicine.
I think he takes too many of his own pills!

He gave me something called a 2009 Red Book. If this thing is for real, I now know exactly what to keep! My grandchildren will be rich!

I saw some of that too...we must warn the world about this man called "Gilligan". If we don't stop him, he'll destroy us all.

Do not be a fool! Spock is the Chuck Norris of the Mirror Universe!

While Kurt is having his laser reconstruction surgery that wont be invented for 100 more years, I will get back to reality and good old 1908...

I got another Large Cent in my change today. Will those things ever leave circulation?

I know this is so "last year" to bring it up, but how about those new Indian Head gold coins? Anyone here lucky (or wealthy) enough to take a good look at one? That incuse design is rather interesting. And how about that new double-eagle? Rather stunning, no?
