Hoping to kill it .... ;)

In the US, we had a $1 coin introduced back in the 70's. It was silver,
had a likeness of Susan B. Anthony on it with a sour look on her puss, and

was immediately confused with a quarter. While still legal tender, they're
mere collectibles now.

Two years ago they got it through their heads to make them look *different*
than a quarter. They put a likeness of a traitorous Injun lady on it
(Sacagawea). They lasted about 5 minutes in circulation; hardly anyone
wanted 'em. At Anthrocon 2001 I bought a book from Trickster and he gave
me my change in Sacagawea dollars. I got rid of them as fast as I could.

So, how about cash with the skunk girls' likenesses on 'em, eh James? :)
