So I have a customer come in and pay for a club I fixed for him, open up the change drawer and instead of one dollar bills there's just a shitload of Thomas Jefferson dollar coins. Really?!? Come on!
They make Thomas Jefferson dollar coins? I only knew about the Susan B. Anthonys^ies (?!?!) and the Sacagaweas -- and most people don't even like those.

If they want to put a Thomas Jefferson coin into mass circulation, why not give it a different face value? Make it worth two bucks! (Or just remember that he's on most of the nickels that
