Hmmn. *Is there some way I could write "bags of dollar coins are the
only thing they sold there at face value" that would be easier to
understand?

You really don't understand counterfactuals?

That means, You really don't understand "what if"s? and fiction? and
imagination?

Ah. If you're saying that all of your usenet posts are fiction, that
explains a lot. Sorry for my unwarranted assumption that you were
attempting to make sense.

PS: If the Mint gave away a pony with every bag of dollar coins rather
than just frequent flyer miles, I bet they would have shipped way more
of them.

ObTransit: I gather that you can pay for a bus trip with two dollar
coins and a quarter. Has anyone here ever done so?
