Would mods close this thread? Nobody can be this stupid to believe the Onion News.

 

why would you close it? I don't believe the story, I thought it was funny!

It's called satire.

Sheesh, read the title!!!

 

Thanks for the post, Mike. I really enjoyed the article.

Without a sense of humor, you are nothing.

 

Had this started 6 years ago, when this was written, we could all have a good start on our collections. You would need a big album to hold all of these coins.

 

i'd have to have them put me in a deep freeze so they could thaw me out 600 years from now so i could finish my collection.....

 

It was a good story and a good laugh when it as published 8 years ago. (and as with many Onoin stories some people believed it.)

 

This is hilarious. Imagine how long the series would be out. I would never see the end of it!

 

Though it's satire, I'm really surprised the mint isn't actually considering this. I mean, 600 years of guarenteed profits from completists must be hard to ignore.

 

Sounds great. I hope they do a series of gold "county seat" collector coins in proof and uncirculated to go along with these.

 

I didn't know it was an old story. My Walgreens doesn't have the display folder anymore.
