I ran across material today about a famous fictional character from a novel who was described in comparison to coins: Rhett Butler of Gone With the Wind. </p><p><br /></p><p>[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]<font size="3"> &quot;He was sunken in his chair, his suit wrinkling untidily against&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; his thickening waist, every line of him proclaiming the ruin of&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; a fine body and the coarsening of a strong face. Drink and dissipation&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; had done their work on the coin-clean profile, and now it was no&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; longer the head of a young pagan prince on newly minted gold, but&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; a decadent, tired Caesar on copper debased by long usage.&quot;</font></p><p><font size="3">&nbsp;<a href="http://www.lewrockwell.com/miller/miller22.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.lewrockwell.com/miller/miller22.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.lewrockwell.com/miller/miller22.html</a></font></p><p><font size="3"></font>[/FONT][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
