    I've got waaaaaay more then a roll.

    And I built a closet organizer. All by myself. I had to throw away the instructions before I snapped. Who writes those things?

    Oh...I've been hoarding American pre-'81 pennies since they have about 2 cents worth of copper in them.

    Yeah. I went to my russian-speaking friend, (reliable source, it was her first language) and asked her about the most obscure words...

    They are everywhere here. I used to like them when I was a kid because they have a lady on them and they had sides instead of being round.

    Not any more.

    They used to have the Lincoln memorial on the reverse, but in 2010(?) they changed to have a shield on the back.
