As you may remember, I had not yet gotten a new dollar coin, lamented that other loggers had, and requested that those people who are hoarding them please release them into the wild so I could hoard one of my own. Well, I joked with Seth that it would be sadly amusing if he saw one of these coins before I did. This was a joke because he’s currently a grad student in Scotland. But, thanks to the miracle of transatlantic travel, he just acquired one upon his arrival in NYC “courtesy of the NYC Metro Card vending machine”. So he wins. Not by much, though. This morning, a coin-collecting-co-worker handed me my very own Sacagawea dollar. It’s a “P”, since he had just been vacationing on the east coast. So, I’m better than my fellow west coasters who just have “D”s. I suppose Seth has a “P” too. But that’s OK, ’cause I’ve got every version of the released state quarters (yes, even Maryland). So there! :-)
