WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT MEAN, TOM? Susan B Screw ME? I'm pretty sure her surname was Anthony and she did more to advance my rights than you ever will.

GP - you're my girl and all, but here's the deal:
Older people hated the Sue B Ant dollars b/c they were the same size as quarters, and machines read them the same. People lost money using them as 'quarters' . . . I've heard my grandfather use this same term to refer to the Anthony dollars.
They're much smaller than 'walking liberty' and don't have the obvious differences of the current dollar coins . . . this resulted in confusion, and a lot of mistakes.
So people got screwed; hence the name.
Hopefully that's what he meant; Tom, if you were being an insensitive ass, i'm sorry i defended you. Hopefully you're referring to what I am.
