Coins
MONEYYYY..... IT'S A DRAG.... that's what I think every time I'm handed a coin here in Australia. There are way too many damn coins here in Australia. There is a 5 cent coin, which is every bit as useless and annoying as our own penny. Then there is a 10 cent coin which will buy you...drum roll please....NOTHING! Then if a 10 cent coin wasn't enough for you there's a 20 cent coin, hurray! But wait, there's more! There's also a 50 cent, a $1 (which can't really buy you anything either) and a $2 (which can buy you a McChicken or as they call it here a Chicken N Cheese) coin. I hate coins, especially coins like the $1 and $2 coins which are so small and are actually kind of useful. This nonsense is the kind of thing that makes me miss (kind of) the good Ol' OOSA. Back home quarters and, I guess, dimes are the only useful coinage. For as progressive as Australia is, they really need to rethink their coin shenanigans.
