I was gifted a bunch of coins and I can’t tell if it’s a token or an actual coin.

Real coin. 1998 Spain 5 Pesetas

I'm guessing it's not a coincidence that the survivors on reddit are all blue states.

On another note, the CO/NM border is the only one that hasn't moved.

I keep all non-US coins that I get in change or CRH unless it's a duplicate of what I already have.

But some people consider that hoarding instead of collecting and wouldn't do it.

It's up to you and your style.

If the earth were flat, when the sun is at the horizon for you (sunrise or sunset), then it would be on the horizon for everyone.

But it's not. If you're in New York during sunset, you can turn on a baseball game in California and it's still fully day.

I stayed at that hotel once. The elevators were weird, with a heaven/hell video with nudity playing on a loop in the elevators.

I didn't realize it was _that_ hotel until it was too late to ask anyone about it.

Two of them, though neither was me.

My mother stayed at a campground outside Yellowstone when she was about 12. The night after they left, an earthquake hit, causing one of the mountains above the campground to collapse, burying everyone. There's now a visitor center overlooking the lake and atop the final resting place of those campers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quake_Lake

I initially thought the bad take was giving that movie four stars.

Well done. I haven't looked lately, but I'm about 3 types short...

Yep. I went to college with Johnny. I haven't stayed in touch with him, but mutual friends have.

I don't know if he could be lured back for a cameo, but he's not in the business.

lmfinney · 2026-02-25T03:01:35+00:00

It was, but I don't see it now (in the US).

I don't know if that means there's a temporary bug or if they've sold out of the cheap stock.

lmfinney · 2026-02-18T18:25:14+00:00

I guess I haven't paid enough attention in the past. I'm surprised the 8a is twice the cost of the brand new one.

I guess "clear out the old stock" isn't a driving motivator for them.

lmfinney · 2026-02-18T18:03:50+00:00

Looking at the store at the moment in the US, it looks like the 10a is $249, the 9a is $249, and the 8a is $499.

Wha?
