I loved it! I'm a big fan of dollar coins; I wish they'd take off...if only for the strange reason that I tend to spend bills and save change, so dollar coins would help me save faster.

Especially like the cents symbol in your name - very inspired! Phil – Fascinating to know the origins of these small bits of paper that dominate so much of our thoughts.
