I assume I had taken them out of one of the pockets of my camera bag recently and they&#8217;ve been in my pocket ever since, moving around with the rest of my change as I changed clothes. I&#8217;ve always felt that U.S.A. money is not as nice as the rest of the world. I guess I like the idea of different presidents on different denominations well enough, but maybe we could be more creative with the reverse. Also, I like the two-tone Canadian coin. I&#8217;m also a fan of the &#xa3;1 and &#xa3;2 coins (and the &#xa3;2 is also two colors). Unlike our $1 coins, the &#xa3;1 coins can be differentiated from other coins while still in your pocket, which I think it vital. Make $1 coins smaller but thicker and they might catch on. I think $2 and $5 coins might be nice, as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I emptied my pocket onto the table this evening and found, among other things, these three coins.
