• This groundbreaking non-monetary issue will never be released for circulation!
• Wow! Inset towers lift on a hinge for cheesy, morbid pop-up action! But they don't specify the net amount of organic particles lodged in the miraculously recovered silver...
• $29.95! That's about...um...er...not much in £s. I'll take one!
• I saw a commercial for this a few days ago. Gross, crass, stupid and asinine.
• I saw the commercial too. I was ..er,,watching the Christian Network channel,,just for some humor since I don`t have cable.--Really.(nevermind)
• Barf.
• This is an excellent and extremely appropriate proposal, and I congratulate the National Collector’s Mint on their taste and patriotism in offering these coins in memory of those proud and brave victims of the terrible horror of 9/11. I would also call on President Bush - freedom's most staunch defender - to swiftly move to replace the national currency with these, and similar, coins. In the future, these "towers" should surely replace the "greenback" as our medium of commerce. I further propose that each be fully convertable into five "pentagons", a similarly-struck medallion commemorating the associated tradegy suffered by the defence forces' citadel of courage. Each "pentagon" could be changed for twenty "phillies", a smaller coin in homage to those who perished on freedom-Flight 93. Other necessary coins, such as "coles" and "embassies" could also be minted to replace the current "dime" and "quarter". In all corners of the world where the American dollar is rightly considered the world's most stable and freedomy currency, these utilitarian memorials would then strike fear into the hearts of terrorismists - a constant reminder that the freedom that they so irrationally despise is as undeniable, as just and as Godly as buying a coke or an AK-47 in downtown Mogadishu.
• No, quid, you're wrong. As glorious as this 911 coin is, the US currency of the future will have two names: The "Reagan" and the "Dubya". "Gimme five Reagans for a Dubya," you'll say. (TPCQ: "Gimme five bees for a quarter, you'd say.")
• This is all part of the conspiracy to make us think that our own government was not responsible for the events of 9/11!!!
• Yes, you too can reenact the fall of the twin towers with this fabulous commemorative coin.
• All I want for Christmas.
• Shit like this makes me sometimes feel like Marx was right about the capitalist pigdogs and that.
• Um, dumb question: why are the dates on the coin 2001-2006, and not 1970-2001?
• Meh. I'm holding out for the Precious Moments figurine.
• That's because it's commemerating the destruction of the towers, not their existence. It's all about the bang, baby.
• So, on the 11th, are we having fireworks?
• No, we're going to stack up a bunch of cardboard boxes with army men at the top and then throw stuff at them.
• This is all part of the conspiracy to make us think that our own government was not responsible for the events of 9/11!!! Our government isn't responsible for anything. The buck stops anywhere but here. Where have you been for the past 5 years?
• Saw the commercial too. Late night, with a heavy wheat beer taking effect, I thought I was imagining it. I hear they will be issuing a commemorative bill as well. A hologram of the towers will reveal breathtaking views of the collapse of both towers as you angle the bill. *throws Krugerrands in recycle bin*
• Didn't they do this a few years ago, only with gold found from the WTC? I want to know how they obtained the stuff.
• "IN BUSH WE TRUST"
• degribblema- . . . derishi- . . de . . Yes, I believe the brouhaha then was that coins were to be made of some of the scrap metal from the wreckage, IIRC. Or perhaps there was yet another WTC-Coin controversy I am currently unaware of.
• I have better bullshit to buy with my money.
• Didn't they do this a few years ago, only with gold found from the WTC? Wasn't that from gold fillings from the teeth of the victims?
• Wasn't that from gold fillings from the teeth of the victims? No, they melted those down to make spinning rims for the landing gear on Cheney's private jet.
• It will go well with my Dale Earnhardt commerative figurine.
• You should combine the two! It's be a smash hit!
• (It's be? It'd.)
• It was all Clinton's fault.
• Marx was right about the capitalist pigdogs My favorite example is the John Lennon Gold "Imagine" Record, from SkyMall. Only $199.95! Un. Freaking. Believable.
• I vote that we delete this post. Adding another link for these assholes is not what we are about. This is distasteful and cruel. just my opinion.
• Wow! Inset towers lift on a hinge for cheesy, morbid pop-up action! I think it's supposed to be pop-down action.
• *sets up towers* *moves fingers towards towers* *makes aeroplane sound* NJAAAAAAUW! PLONK!
• 'zackly what I thought. Who's idea was that anyway. Ohhh I don't knowww . . Satan?!?!
