Freaky nickel

[homeschoolmom]

Okay, I got a weird nickel today. Has anyone seen a nickel with a close-up profile of Jefferson... and on the back is a bison (obviously a boy)... It looks like a legit nickel in the other ways.

I have one "Louisiana Purchase" nickel from 2004. Are they making a freaky new new nickel every year?

[Thy Geekdom Come]

Yeah, it's a new nickel.

i got a nickel, i got a nickel, i got a nickel hey hey hey hey



i'll trade you your nickel for mine--what do you say?

[sweetpea316]

Yep, I have one. They are odd.

I hate all the new money (aside from the state quarters, I like those).... As a child, I had a nightmare about counterfeit money and so it always kinda freaks me out to see something not quite right...

The Jefferson looks like an off center mis-strike.

ive tried but i never get far because i end up spending them

[homeschoolmom]

I don't really remember, I was pretty young. But I remember that all the money was wrong-- like clowns as presidents (Hmmmm... clowns as presidents?) And they sorta came to life in a mocking way....

Later in the same dream all of my records melted to look like stone records from The Flintstones. Needless to say, I always took good care of my records...

No, but it's so much harder than it was at first.

I did until about a month ago. I needed cash badly and spent them.

[zabbazooey]

Yeah I get poor and spend my collection :

Try lugging around zloty, pounds, and euros.

Identity crisis follows.

i used to collect the state quarters. i got all of the first set. but i never went to buy the book for the second set, and so i haven't kept track of what i've got. maybe someday...

Am I the only one who doesn't look at the back of my coins??

[jp2_rules]

[Carrie]

Thanks for letting me know!

Just making sure.

[let_go_let_God]

I collect the state quarters, I have all of them so far, and those new nickles I agree are wierd.
