Anybody else seen the ads for the silver Reagan Dime? |
|
The reverse is the same torch design, with Reagan's profile on the obverse. http://www.popesilvercoins.com/reagan.htmlThey'll take FDR off the dime over my cold, dead body.

Relax. It's some outfit like the Franklin Mint, hawking their crap.
It has NOTHING to do with the US government.
Just more crap for the True Believers to buy.

6. I know that it's not the U.S. Mint, but the implication is clear. |
|
They made the dime identical except for FDR's picture. It falls right in line with the crap Norquist was spewing after Gipper died.

It's nothing, it's a TV ad for morans.
Let it go. Not worth your good time or energy.

Generally, when you make a profile portrait for a coin, it's actually a profile. That image is mostly the back of Reagan's head with his face poking through.

Honestly though, she is without a doubt the scariest looking woman I've ever seen. I'm not even joking, if she were in a horror movie, they wouldn't need any makeup at all. And after seeing it, I probably wouldn't sleep for weeks!

5. They should mint a new coin for RayGuns - the half-cent. It'd match his |
|
half-wit, and it's more than he was worth, and it would remind us all of trickle-down economics, the real god of the Reich Wing.

7. rr on a dime: a terrible idea |

I thought the airport (renaming) was way too much...no way that clown should be on any coin or currency.

11. It's easy to understand... |
|
List the greatest Presidents of the 20th century...
Teddy Roosevelt Woodrow Wilson Franklin Roosevelt Harry Truman John Kennedy Bill Clinton (may be too soon to make this judgment)
How many Republicans on that list...ONE...and he was a liberal Republican who would probably be a Democrat today...
Republicans are getting so tired of having no truly great President, they are having to try and force the alleged "greatness" of Ronald Reagan on us to fill that need. It's pathetic.

They've never had any great presidents like we have, so they need to make Reagan into some sort of god...though I'm suprised the radical Freepers don't consider G. Dubya a god already....:puke:
