The new 50c coin is tiny

I got my hands on the new 50 cent coin a few days back - they weren't kidding when they said it'd be smaller. I almost hooked the bus driver because I thought I was being short-changed. It'll take some getting used to, but I'm not sure I like the idea of such small coins. Personally, I enjoyed having the option of using the old 50c coin as a deadly weapon if the need ever arose. Now all I can hope to do is inflict a somewhat irritating itch on my would-be attackers. These truly are confused times.

One last look at the old 50 cent coin:

Goodbye, old friend (*sniff*).
