A report today by the BBC states that the good ole US of A have a load of 1.1bn unloved $ coins. Each coin is said to be 2mm thick.
In typical useless BBC fashion, they further state that a stck of all these coins would be seven times ( that's 7 , remeber that )the height of the ISS.
Although it is not clear, the reference to height of the ISS is taken to mean its orbital height of 350km above the earth.
Now using simple maths, ( and assuming it doesnt fall or is pushed over, and ignoring pressure , the stack of $ coins would reach an height of only 6.28 x that of the ISS not 7 as reported.
As i say, typical men.
Henceforth i shall be known as Mushroom6.28 |

They had to round it up because if they rounded it down then they'd have 10,400,000 worth of coins left over and they wouldn't know what to do with them so some slimy fucker will probably trouser them. See.  |

its about time they got rid of one dollar bills , and started using the coins
you can end up with a huge wadd of notes in your pocket and not enough money to pay the cab bill
and all the stupid notes 5 10 20 50 100 look exactly the same and are the same size |
