I appreciate old art, paintings/sculptures, new art that actually requires some skill/talent. I don't care for modern art, different colors blobbed onto a canvas, random pieces of a material put together that anybody could do, little talent there in my opinion.
At Sotheby's a piece of "art" banana duct taped to wall sold for $6.2 million this week. That's crazy in my opinion. As they say there's no accounting for taste. At least the winner of number 1 flowing hair gets an ounce of gold.

I Would love to hear the mind-set from the Wall Banana Highest bidder,  I Too agree with the Above , Art like many other things, Is " in the eye " of the beholder. You like, You Buy. Not my Cup of Tea either, .....  |

The mint's annual budget for 2024 is/was $4.7 billion, so revenue from numismatic sales is likely insignificant, but I guess every little bit helps.

The mint should open up OTB sites with betting windows.

Once you make your First Billion, the Rest is a Piece of Cake,..... JR Ewing, of "Dallas" fame, once said "once you give up your integrity, the rest is a piece of cake". The Mint is well on its way!

" Who did Shoot, JR Ewing " I believe his sister-in-law Kristen pulled the trigger but it was either Perry Mason or Ben Matlock who defended her and got her off.

Wasn't there some sort of weird dream sequence between seasons?

There was always some kinda cliff hanger between seasons on Dallas. The one that I think you are thinking of was when Bobby (JRs little bro) was run down and killed by a car driven by Katherine. The next season opened with Pam waking up in bed and hearing the shower going. She walks into the bathroom and Bobby is taking a shower.. The killing of Bobby was just a bad dream.
