Shellybird Shortpost: JESUS QUARTER!!!!

My mommy is old school. What choice does she have? She'll be 74 in a few months. Anyways, she saves coins, like most folks do--craptastic economic times, you know. However she gives those fancy coin rolling machines and the Coinstar the bypass and rolls her change by hand. Then she has her only (surviving) child write her name and address on the ROLLS for her when she's done--never on the wrapper while it's still flat. O_o

Anyways, last week she was going through her change and found a quarter with "JESUS" imprinted on it, like someone at the mint did it. She said, "Oh Shellybird, look!" We ruminated for a while on how it could have gotten there, discussed the religious significance of it and then she reluctantly added it to the roll. She looked so sad, and I told her she should hang on to it because it was special. Unless, of course, I find out it's worth millions of dollars, or even only a few hundred thousand.  If THAT'S the case, she can kiss the JESUS quarter goodbye.  We're supposed to have Him in my our hearts anyway.

Oh, and I'm just going to gloss over the fact that Mommy found a JESUS quarter out of the blue, and I've been looking for his likeness in breakfast toast for years.
