stumbling around

[solarbird]

I am so sick of this quarter. I'm very much looking forward to it being over. I'm so unmotivated it's just stupid. And I've felt tired and somewhat bletcherous all week. I did kind of enjoy the field trip to the UW botany greenhouses, though. I got to play Sumomo helping my group get to the warehouses, which I mostly only realised I was doing when we got there. So that was funny.

annathepiper brought home some of the new Washington dollars. I desperately want to unwrap them and eat the chocolate I'm convinced is inside. Desperately convinced.

I did not have this reaction to the Sacagawea dollars. Those looked like money. I don't know why this doesn't.

Yeah, they should just stop making the paper dollars and let the ones still in circulation just be pulled when their effective lifespan is spent. Plus, if they'd make sure that vending machines in general took all the things--Dara says vending machines around here in her experience take the dollar coins fine, but I don't think all of them do--people would be way more likely to use them.

The state quarters thing I've heard referenced as partial inspiration for why they're doing the presidents thing with the coins. And while I think the neatness factor of putting other admired figures on money would be quite high, I don't know if they'd ever do that--are there any countries that put non-leader figures on their money? All the non-U.S. coins I've ever seen do that too.

[solarbird]

I'd support that. I think we should also maybe have $2 coins.

I've seen money with non-political figures on it, before, though I don't remember where or who the people were.

[annathepiper]

Heh, cool. Maybe I'll have to look this up. :)

I had a bunch of money from design class that we studied that was all scientists and artists and musicians. It was all bills; I think it was The Netherlands or Belgium, but I'm not sure.
