<mouth_agape> - Mephisto, the dimes don't actually march.
It's just a figure of speech. -- If I were a dime though, I
might think about marching. Look at how much larger they
make nickels than dimes, and dimes are worth nearly twice
as much. Is that right? I don't think so.

Dimes are treated badly. They're treated as if they were
just some sort of accessory coin to the quarter. They
purposefully make dimes difficult to flip. Las Vegas has
flashy slot machines especially made for all the other
silver coins except for the pithy sounding dime. The dime
doesn't even rate two syllables.

Dimes USED to be the coolest coin. They had a lady on them
who could fly around with wings on her hat. They took that
away and put on some bald guy with *no hat. Why?
