Then again, for many Americans, there have always only been 4 main coins.
Anything else that is close enough in size to be practical, is going to be too
close to the others.  So maybe it's just a matter of taking time to get used
to the new coin.

Yah the Nickel, Dime, Quarter, and Half Dollar! ;-).  I just hate that little
piece of copper they give you that you have to throw in a bucket at home to use
as a door stop.  I have more door stops now than I have doors.

Why do we need another coin.  We all hate coins in general (except of course
when you run into an exact change vending machine then we love the silver
colored ones anyway).  When we should be subtracting a coin from curculation
they add one.  It just makes no sense.  This one will probably be just as hated
as the Susan B. was within a few months.

Basic results from showing it to everyone on my team: it's too much like a (...) (24 years ago, 3-Feb-00, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
