Its not that I don't think that Rotary Clubs are good, in their small and provintial way, but its just that they don't deserve a commerative coin. Maybe we can do something like American Aviation, NASA discovery, the 1849 Gold Rush, American Authors, American Theater, Illegal Immegration, The Cumberland Pass, The Erie Canal, RedWood trees and pristine virgin forests, The Little Black Dress, Subway Graffiti, etc ...

 

You married a guy?

No, no, no.....It would say "Smell the dairy air"

Now you're just being antagonistic..........and showing how oblivious you are, there are about 1.5 Million members world wide.

That's just dumb.........sorry, but it really is.

Really?

 

It was started in Chicago. Your counting the dead man vote.

 

You might need to watch out lol! As a first degree member of the K of C and my dad being a Queens NY Italian (or "Italina" as you put it) that is a smack in the face to many people. If you want to bash cultures and people without shame than this is not the forum for that.

 

I think the Metropolitian Museum of Art would make a decent coin. If they can't pick reasonable things to commemorate, then they should kill the program. After all, it is not a bake sale.

No I am not. my comment was based on the history of other recent commems that were promoted as being something that would be eagerly purchased by the special interest group, but in every case the coins were bought by the rank and file coin collectors and not the special interest groups. Even the most successful, the Marine Corps dollar was purchased by coin collectors and extras were purchased to be given as gifts to family members who had been Marines, but in general the rank and file non-collector marines did NOT buy them and most never heard about them. How many American males have been boy scouts? If the non-collector former scouts had bought them it would have been an overnight sellout. It wasn't. They claimed the Jackie Robinson would appeal to African-Americans and Baseball fans, the Black Revolutionary Patriots was supposed to appeal to African Americans. Both flopped as far as sales went. The Vietnam Veterans Memorial was supposed to appeal to the vets and all the families of the fallen vets, sales were poor. In every case most of the sales were simply to people who were already collectors

Yes I am sure that some of the Lions club members are coin collectors, and some if not many of them will buy one, but the vast majority of them will not. I do not expect this coin to be a sell out. Quite possibly not even close.

 

lol...

Was on a dairy farm one day and said something to the farmer about the smell.
He told me that's the smell of money.

BS I said, I have money and it don't smell like that.
