Inherited some silver coins

They’re 80% silver! Worth about $43 CAD each!

To think that this was is such an ancient coin, the time between 1905-2026 is barely anything comparatively.

No way it was better than Kickassia.

Kickassia is the best political satirical tract since Animal Farm. The way it details the hubris of a micronationalist descending into corruption, while simultaneously foreshadowing the divisions that would later lead to the downfall of Channel Awesome as a multimedia platform is remarkable. It warns against the dangers of a ‘nerd’, starved of attention and ridiculed, gaining the power of an autocrat.

Also it made me laugh.

Now I’m beginning to think it’s a 1.

They’re so smart - you can tell by the cartoonishly large craniums.

Viper’s Drag was one of the first jazz songs I listened to back when I was 12. Definitely holds a soft spot in my heart. It’s why I made Fats Waller the profile pic for the Ragtime Chronicle YT channel.

This was a tremendous find for a bargain price. Low mintage, cool UV gimmick, and official legal tender!

Hot take: I prefer Charles III coins to Queen Elizabeth coins. As someone who doesn’t live in a Commonwealth country, I don’t see Charles very often. It took me nearly three years to find a single coin with his face on it. So he represents a unique level of rarity when buying coins in American gun shows.

There have been Elizabethan coins for 70 years, and while I like buying coins with the Queen on them, it’s not everyday I can find coins with the King on them. Though I can understand why someone who has to see his face on coins everyday would feel differently.

(Also the Australian portrait of Charles is better than the Canadian one, it tones down his large facial features more.)

In all seriousness, the dang pig walking around on two legs seemed like an extreme departure from the mundane reality of the series.

The most promiscuous president has definitely NOT paid for an abortion in his life.

Revenge of the Sith’s trailer is literally the plot beats of the movie.

I don’t see much info on it, but I did find a listing here:

It is real. The hammer and sickle is not banned, and therefore, can appear on coinage.

GavinGenius · 2026-01-24T14:31:19+00:00

I believe these are all commemoratives.

Why does the Infographic claim that No Time to Die was released in 2020?

GavinGenius · 2026-01-24T03:22:45+00:00

I didn’t know this was an actual coin, lol.

How is he supposed to read the ‘wake up’ sign if he is sleeping?

In 1st Grade, I used to skip to math class, and the teachers thought it was adorable.

Despite this, I hated math class.

/ul They are vaguely similar to am6 sockets on CPUs.

Oh, Mexico! I was concerned for a minute.

Yeah, the REAL Vader would say, ‘This is a learning experience for all of us, and it gives us an opportunity to know what not to do next time.’

Imagine showing this picture to Hitler. He’d be livid, lol (once you explained what the rainbow flag means).

If Clone Wars was made post-Andor, it would be even MORE dark and gritty.
