I donÂ’t know what to say.

I was standing at the counter with bottle of Coke. I reached into my pocket and out came some crumbled up bills and a handful of coins. I look down at the coins and IÂ’ve never fucking seen them before. I thought they were Canadian or some other worthless currency and then realized they were nickels. All different kinds.

I had a regular nickel, a new version of a buffalo nickel and yet another one with half of JeffersonÂ’s head on it. I was dumbfounded.

WhatÂ’s up with all the new nickels? ItÂ’s bad enough theyÂ’re minting new quarters with Newark and Detroit on them once a month, now the US mint is changing the nickels every week. I just donÂ’t get it. I donÂ’t know what the national debt is, but how the hell can we be spending our resources changing the goddamed coins every week? ItÂ’s got to cost money drawing the designs, stamping the plates and all of that crap. Does this make sense? We should be getting rid of the fucking dead wood in these agencies and theyÂ’re hiring by the busload down at the nickel division.

How many nickels do we need? Are they even worth five cents anymore? Are we going to have nickels from every state? WhatÂ’s next, fifty new dimes? This is fucking criminal! I havenÂ’t been this enraged since they canceled The Rockford Files.
