Good Idea, Bad Idea

I'm a big fan of Canada, so, unlike most Americans, I'm not reflexively against trading in the dollar bill for the dollar coin. I don't remember when Canada scrapped its $1 bill, but for as long as I could remember there were Loonies (because of the Loon on the tails sid) Later they added the Two-nie. I always liked them. So really, I'm open to dollar coin. But don't you think the U.S. Mint could have found a slightly less Satanic looking picture of George Washington?


It's terrifying. Anna suggested he looks like the guy who played Cato on HBO's Rome, which isn't a bad point. But it's no a point in favor of this particular piece of currency. I want my money to look friendly.
