You know the ones where the commercial says

The TV and print ads include one fashioned after a news story that reads: "Today, history is being made. For the first time ever, a legally authorized government issue silver dollar has been struck to commemorate the World Trade Center and the new Freedom Tower being erected in its place ... Most importantly, each coin has been created using .999 pure silver recovered from ground zero!"

Thank goodness. Those commercials made me vomit all over my living room and my roommates were getting pissed off about the mess.

I knew there was a God, and He has banned those coins.

I am beyond freakin' happy to hear this news. I think it's HORRENDOUS they were selling those coins. My poor husband had to listen to my tyrannical (sp???) rants everytime the damn commerical came on. Worse part is I would just be sitting there minding my own business watching my 30min meals with Racheal Ray show...and then ARGH EEK AHH!
