Starbucks, I Love Lucy, and the Yucatán Peninsula

1.23.2005

I just found something.

I just found four dollar coins on my computer desk. I think they're from a basketball game on Friday. I tape the all basketball games that my school plays in with my peepsies Drew and Ryan. I'm pretty sure I used a five-dollar bill in a vending machine and it gave me these back.

Three of them are Sacajawea golden dollars. On the front it has Sacajawea with her little baby in her little papoose. On the back there's an eagle flying. He/she has really big wings.

Here's a picture.



The other one is from 1979. It has a woman with a rather aquiline nose (vocab word of the day, kids). I'm pretty sure it's Susan B. Anthony.

On the back there's a drawing of an eagle laying an olive branch on what I assume is the moon because there's lots of craters. In the background you can see the earth. I'm kind of confused by this though because the moon landing was ten years before 1979. It doesn't really make sense to do that, imo.

I would take a picture of it but my phone is having trouble sending pictures. So here's the head of the coin:



I'll probably keep the Anthony one and spend the others. Who knows, it might be worth something one day.
