We do in fact have both a gold colored $1 and $2 coins and they work fine
except for the terminal stupidity that the $1 coin is bigger than the $2
coin.
And the 50c coin is bigger again, but is silver colored and not gold
colored.

And we don't have 1c and 2c coins anymore, the lowest value is 5c.

arent actually stupid enough to keep doing it now,
or actually stupid enough to shave my legs either.

Having pubic hair all over your face is disgusting. You shouldn't be allowed into shops, bits might drop off.

Ours are as bad, the new £1 coins aren't round. That's why they won't fit into trolleys etc.

We do in fact have both a gold colored $1 and $2 coins and they work fine

I do like that phrase. Also terminal ****wit.

Strange. Although some of ours are the same, the 20p is smaller than the 10p for example.

I don't see the point in our 1p and 2p coins. The exchange rate means they're worth a bit more than yours, but they're still useless.

It isnt pubic hair.

Didn't realise you shave your entire head every day.

Renting isn't necessarily more expensive when you factor in the
mortgage, taxes, and upkeep on your 'investment'. I've lived in at least
two apartments and a rental house where I made modifications. In one
case the landlord footed the bill for materials.

Finally, if you live in an RV you get to keep it. And modify it. Lot
rent is quite a bit less than rental properties.

Living in a tent isn't bad. I lived in my pickup for much of 1988 and
1989. Technically I suppose I was homeless but it was my choice. Home
was anyplace in the US where I parked it.

Strange.


Yeah the $1 came out first and its about as big
as is sensible so that is likely why the later $2
coin is smaller, the ****wit designers didn't
anticipate having a $2 coin initially.

Although some of ours are the same, the 20p is smaller than the 10p for
example.


Its mad, I always have to stop and think
about which I want to hand over because
they are the opposite to what is natural.

And the 50c coin is bigger again, but is silver colored and not gold
colored.

And we don't have 1c and 2c coins anymore, the lowest value is 5c.


I don't see the point in our 1p and 2p coins. The exchange rate means

Yeah, complete pain in the arse. We're considering scrapping our 5c too now.
