New nickles

[M2d]

I was glancing at my change today and noticed a new state quarter. interested (since it was shiny, and probably one I hadn't seen yet), I took a closer look and discovered that it was a nickle with a Louisianna Purchase logo on the tails side. when did these come out?

They are making new nickels the size of quarters? [Hahahahaha, good one.]

hide behind that mask, funny man. I just glanced at my change, did a quick calculation in my head and felt the euphoria usually experienced as you just start to think that your river check-raise bluff is going to work.
Alas, a late second call was found, and my "quarter" morphed into a nickle. They're both big-ish and silver-ish.

i wish they would get rid of pennies and nickels.
but what gets me is that some of the new quarters dont work in the paper machines and i have to carry lots of extras to get the sunday paper, as the machines keeps rejecting them and i have to start all over. boo hoo.
