Those Gold Dollar Coins

This isn't a joke per se, but food for thought any way.

I wasn't even aware that we now have a gold coin about the size of a quarter, here in the USA.

Some one told me that we were trying to get rid of the paper $1.00 bill. I don't see how that

would be a problem as we don't have any problem getting rid of 16 trillion of them. My

grandson, at the college, the other day put in a paper dollar bill to buy a soda. He got the

soda and the machine kicked out 3 of these gold dollars! He should have gotten 1 quarter

back, but nstead got 3 gold dollars. He excitedly told me about it and I thought he probably

got something in the soda that he hadn't bargained for. But the next day, I gave the drive-in
cashier a five dollar paper bill to pay for a big mac and threw the change in the sack with

the hamburger. After eating I extricated my change and found to my surprize that I had

myself received 3 gold dollars and 3 paper dollars. A free hamburger, fries and 6 dollars in

change.If this is as rampant as it seems, the government could use those gold dollars to pay

off that 16 trillion in no time. I don't know if I will ever get around to sending those gold

dollars to the government or not, but I think that I will be eating at a fast food drive-in a lot

more from now on.

Hey old buddy, those gold COLORED dollars will lose their shine and you'll see their true colors. In Canada we have a one dollar coin, no more paper ones and their about the size of a silver dollar and are called loonies, from the picture on the coin and when new have that nice golden color to them but after a little circulation they take on that coppery look. And so the government saved so much money they put out a two dollar coin about the same size called a toonie that is silver colored with another coin in the center and they keep looking good for a long time and now the government doesn't even think of nickel and diming us to death with all them loonies and toonies out there. Now wasn't that interesting, jeez its time to take a pill, Ed

Are you sure you are not loonie with your toonies and loonies?

Australia got rid of all one and two cent pieces and one and two dollar notes long ago, now a five cent piece is the smallest denomination coin and we have one and two dollar gold coloured coins. I cannot remember the size of US coins so I cannot give you a comparison in the size.

In the Philippines where I am at the moment, they have Pesos as their currency with a one Peso coin being worth about 2 US cents. But they also have centavos, 100 centavos to a Peso. The 5 centavo coin has a hole in the centre and is cheaper than washers, so I have used them as such several times. nbsp; nbsp;

Not a joke but interesting.

Now a joke..

Once upon a time, and far, far away lived a beautiful Queen with voluptuous breasts.

Nick the Dragon slayer knew that the penalty for his desire would be death should he try to touch them.

One day Nick revealed his secret desire to his colleague, Horatio the Physician, who was the King's chief doctor.

Horatio the Physician, exclaimed that he could arrange for Nick the Dragon Slayer to satisfy his desire, but it would cost him 1, 000 gold coins to arrange it.

Without pause, Nick the Dragon Slayer readily agreed to the scheme. The next day, Horatio the Physician made a batch of itching powder and poured a little bit into the Queen's brassiere while she bathed. Soon after she dressed, the itching commenced and grew intense.

Upon being summoned to the Royal Chambers to address this incident, Horatio the Physician informed the King and Queen that only a special saliva, if applied for four hours, would cure this type of itch, and that tests had shown that only the saliva of Nick the Dragon Slayer would work as the antidote to cure the itch.

The King quickly summoned Nick the Dragon Slayer. Horatio the Physician then slipped Nick the Dragon Slayer the antidote for the itching powder, which he quickly put into his mouth, and for the next four hours, Nick worked passionately on the Queen's voluptuous and magnificent breasts.

The Queen's itching was eventually relieved, and Nick the Dragon Slayer left satisfied and touted as a hero.

Upon returning to his chamber, Nick the Dragon Slayer found Horatio the Physician demanding his payment of 1, 000 gold coins.

With his obsession now satisfied, Nick the Dragon Slayer couldn't have cared less and, knowing that Horatio the Physician could never report this matter to the King, with a laugh just told him to get lost.

The next day, Horatio the Physician slipped a massive dose of the same itching powder into the King's underwear. The King immediately summoned Nick the Dragon Slayer...

And next day our poor dragon slayer has itchy lips and all chapped to hell and our physician said he'd be glad to help for TWO thousand gold coins. So from a Queen to a King and finally back to the doctor who gets you in the end. Sounds familiar!!!!
