Worth Every penny?
By ThrowsLikeAGirl
Now - from the "what-is-this-country-coming-to?" department: The Official A- Rod NY State Quarter. WallyG - one of YankeesSuck.com's Clubhouse members spotted this advertised on TV. Of all the great historical figures that could appear on a coin - on legal currency of the great United States of America - now we've got A-Rod! We can hardly type for the gagging. The National Collector's Mint, who've issued this collectible coin, call Rodriguez the next "Pride of the Yankees."
(This must have both Lou Gehrig and Gary Cooper spinning in their graves.)
We can only figure it this way: the value of a quarter is $.25. This A-Rod coin goes for $19.99. So - to get his little face on a tacky-looking quarter, you've got to pay 80 times what it's actually worth. Hmmmmm - a practically-useless overpriced collectible....OK, we get the A-Rod connection now.
