New american nickel...

[MarcoPollo]

There has been a new nickel out for like 4 months and I haven't even noticed until today. It is pretty cool, It's got Thomas Jefferson and a buffalo....Am I the last one to notice this? (besides the brits)

 

[Steve]

No, but I think you're the first one to care.

 

[bvasgm]

Nope...I had no idea there was a new nickel.

 

[MarcoPollo]

It combines the old buffalo nickel with the one we had up to 2003

Whoot!

*runs to bank to trade in an old nickel for a new SUPER nickel*

a-freakin mazing

 

[ray_MAN]

Whoop-di-frickin'-doo! I will spend it anyway, so I try not to get attached.

 

[RakuraiTenjin]

I've gone through a bunch of these.

 

[Ames]

I should look at my nickels more often.

 

[Dag]

I hate change. If its below quarters, its useless. Unless you want to piss of the fast-food people by paying with pennies and nickels.

MarcoPollo, just a suggestion, maybe you should hold off on the daily new threads. :O

Bah, I just make em as they come to me. I probably wont make another thread for a long time. I just thought it was funny, I didn't notice for like 4 months.

Sorry, I must of missed the parade. I was too busy feeding the homless while my dad was being shot at over in Iraq and my while my Uncle contracted Cancer. Sorry.

I miss the old 50p, 10p and 5p coins.

 

[StardogChampion]

I miss the old 50p, 10p and 5p coins.

You could kill someone with the old 50p without even throwing it. It was thicker, right? I can hardly remember.

Yeah. Really chunky.

 

[CSD-San]

I live in Canada. So woo.

I'm sick and tired of the billions of different 'limited edition' quarters floating around here, though.

What are you talking about, we've known for quite sometime. Okay I have anyway, I stumbled across a news article quite sometime ago

 

[RakuraiTenjin]

Oye alright empty them pockets?
Yeah what's that? 20p

That's my 20p now.

 

[Shodan]

Yeah. Really chunky.

Yeah, you could put those in a vending machine and they would break it.

 

[jonbob]

aye, that's right. I didn't care for the old 5p bits though.

 

[The Monkey]

Good for you.

 

[Ennui]

Hmm. Thanks for pointing it out; I probably would never have noticed, or if I had it'd be in 20 years or so. Can you imagine?

"Hey, is this a new nickel?"
"No dude, they've been using those for like 30 years..."
"... eh."

 

[Feath]

aye, that's right. I didn't care for the old 5p bits though.

New 10p and old 5p are very similar. I've sometimes got an old 5p and thought it was a 10p.
