What the hell is this?

[rug]

And when did it happen?

[Ptah]

1. It's a new one of these.

It happened yesterday, I believe.

[rug]

2. Hell, last I checked, the back was like this.

I'm going to send a post card of complaint to the Treasury.

[Ptah]

3. Sticker shock dead ahead!!

[rug]

4. Sure, next you'll tell me with at war with Afghanistan.

:eyes:

7. The bi-weekly autogyro to Washington leaves tomorrow!

[rug]

9. Oh, I'm in no hurry, I'll take the Zephyr.

Recriminations are best offered face-to-face anyway. I'll have time to refresh in the Pullman.

15. Are you sending it by pony express?

[Old Troop]

16. They already got my telegram

[alphafemale]

5. I wish they'd do away with the penny.

I hate them.

[rug]

6. If they do, it will be the end of the Republic.

[FarLeftRage]

8. Ahh, the new "Union Shield" Cent.

It replaces the "Lincoln Memorial" Cent of 1959 - 2008...

Legislation was passed for this in either 2008 or 2009, I can't remember.

10. My daughter showed me one today with a 2010 date.

I'm surprised at how startled I was to see it.

12. You're aware that they minted a whole bunch of different penny designs in 2009, right?
