Dropping a dime ...
With Reagan's portrait on it? That's the latest hysterical idea from the wingers (FUX).
Isn't defacing the currency a federal crime? And aren't "Christians" supposed to be against making graven images? And idolatry?
Anyhow, the best way for citizens to halt this nonsense is to refuse to use the coins. Just hand them back, and ask for real money. People will get tired of keeping separate Gipper drawers soon enough.
Of course, the real agenda here—since the dime is now blessed with FDR's image—is trashing our New Deal legacy. Surprise!
