Things That Make You Go Hmmm: The US Exchange Rate

Our government seems to be in this mindset that if you spend more, you save more.  Granted, that hasn't worked for anyone...ever...but apparently this administration seems to think it's the way to go. 

Now the US Mint is seeing how many of you will fall for that theory.

*Cue cheesy salesman voice*

Because now you too can join the fun!

For only $14.95...

That's right.  I said, "For only $14.95" you can own a little piece of American coinage history.

This five piece set features beautiful natural site designs on the back of each quarter.

And...they're shiny!

So act now!

$14.95 for a whole $1.25!

Now that's an offer you don't want to miss!

Don't delay!  This offer will only last until the next election!
From USMint.gov

*End cheesy salesman voice*

And you thought the exchange rate overseas was a bitch.

I think 2010 is going to be a year in American History I would prefer to forget. But then, future generations will be able to learn a lot about the current administration's mistakes. Of course, the lessons won't be cheap. They will still be paying for them.

Sad, isn't it?

No wonder foreigners sometimes call us "Stupid Americans"

Doesn't seem to be a good deal to me. I could have bought a roll of nickels at the flea market the other day for $15.

Thank you for finding me through Lady Bloggers Society and leaving such a warm and heartfelt comment. I am following you and have at the request of others opted to update more in regards to this clinical trial. I hope to see your warm heart there. No one should have to go through what I have, at any age; I am so proud of a second chance I was given.
