Yeh, I\'ve used crazily painted coins to buy stuff, but it\'s never as fun as you think. I spend tons of time meticulously painting the coins with the ugliest colours I can find, washing \'em with brown and purple, putting gloss finishes on them, and, well.........I stand excitedly at the cash register, barely concealing my smug glee and girlish giggles, and the world weary retail shmoe just gives a cursory glance at the coins and puts \'em away. I sometimes want to scream: \"DAMN YOU Retail Ass, I gave you a freakin\' shiny green-purple coin!!! React, for christ sake, show some emotion!!! I wasted an hour of my life for the small satisfaction of handing you a messed up coin, and you don\'t even care!?!? Cruel world, am I that small?\"
Anywhoo, I found the perfect coin in my collection: An old, old Canadian penny, with good ol\' King George on it (whoever the hell he is....
) I\'ve started it, but as it\'s so old, I\'m having trouble getting the detail, and his skin\'s a b**** to paint.
