Last Friday I took my wife out for our once-a-month-smokin’-hot-date-night. We went to Louisville’s 4th street live to eat some great food, play some pool, and take in a good country music concert. The night was great, but at the very onset of our night something happened that really threw me.
We parked the car and when I inserted my $20 bill into the parking ticket machine it proceeded to spit 17 gold coins back at me for my change. I didn’t know whether to scream with joy like I just hit the jackpot or cry; because for the remainder of the evening I had to carry a 2 lb. chunk of change around in my pocket!
My humble opinion is that the government should remove the dollar coin from circulation. They are bulky, stupid, and as I learned later that night, no one really wants to take them. How annoying.
Despite this mishap we still had a great time, and my wife only said that she missed her little boy, our 8 month old son, once on the ride home. We’re making progress.
