No really, what do we get?
Quarters honoring states.
Dollar coins honoring Dead presidents which you can never get as change.
A penny that, now that Communism is not that big a treat, is backed by a SHIELD.
Do you even know how much that guy on the dime even did to mess with things?I mean, look at this beauty
let’s be honest
that coin looks awesome, but is liz really any more deserving of honoring than oklahoma or whatever
bears are though for sure
In Canada, all coins are Taco Bell. I mean, Elizabeth II.
The reverse of each side though:
- Penny - Maple Leaf/Leaves
- Nickle - Beaver
- Dime - Boat
- Quarter - Moose
- Loonie - Loon
- Toonie - Bear
What nobody tells people outisde of Canada, is that the reverse images are in order of danger. And if anyone ever argues that a little black duck isn’t more dangerous than a half-ton moose, well, obviously they’ve never been to Canada before.
Though you got to admit, having that boat waiting for months
Watching your snowmobile
Just
Waiting
Can be pretty unnerving.

Apparently this ad campaign which I just saw on the back of a magazine has been running for 3+ years
Can anyone tell me why this is a Photoshop disaster

Do you know how quick we could clean up US/Canada currency contamination if the vending machines would JUST HANDLE BOTH TYPES
John Green’s tumblr: What the Death of the Canadian Penny Says about the U.S.
“Canada is scrapping the penny, ending production of the country’s smallest unit of currency this spring.
Finance Minister Jim Flaherty, whose department described the penny as a “nuisance” in budget documents, said the coin is now more trouble than it’s worth.
…
Oh. Okay. That’ll do. Also, the States needs to get rid of their penny as well and put the savings towards NASA. Everyone bloody wins. :D
While yes the penny does cost more than a cent to manufacture (2.41 cents per penny in 2012, actually, not a cent and a half), that doesn’t mean that each penny is a loss for the government, because pennies are used more than once. A penny contributes one cent of value each time it’s used, not just a single cent of value universally. The economic value contributed by an item of currency is its value times the number of transactions it’s involved in before it wears out or is pulled from circulation.
While I’m in favor of dropping the penny purely for convenience’ sake, that argument against it is very specious.
Well … a physical penny is a sunk cost. A government itself does not derive any further income from its manufacture. It doesn’t make any money from any currency denomination - given national debts, it loses standing as it prints and mints more money.
Also, as tumblr is rarely an original source - http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/ottawa-gives-up-on-nuisance-penny/article2386120/ - which does actually mention the inflation concern (while minimizing it).
It’s weird Ottawa isn’t mandating Swedish Rounding - it’s likely everyone is just going to round up without it. Though its not like the concept of a single cent is going to go away.
It would be funny if Canadians started using US Cent coins once their own were mostly gone. The two are used interchangeably enough now near the border.

THRreports this extensive synopsis:
A long lost NASA space probe mysterious crash lands in New York City, apparently under the influence of a “dark energy” force that drives the universe’s expansion. But the scientific curiosity soon becomes a disaster of cataclysmic proportions as Earth’s own gravity is disrupted and eventually reversed, causing skyscrapers and bridges to be ripped from the ground and rivers to rain from the sky. A team led by the Office of Emergency Management supervisor is forced to mount a desperate mission into upside-down Manhattan to avert the entire planet’s destruction.
This may end up being the stupidest movie ever made.
Dark energy, huh?
How much you wanna bet this somehow interprets as purple?
