The Presidential $1 Coin Act of 2005 sought to put dollar coins into circulation by allowing citizens to buy the coins directly from the Mint's website at face value. Shipping was free, and the website accepted credit cards.

Same Great Paste posted:http://www.dailyfinance.com/2013/02/28/credit-card-reward-points-airline-miles-free/ okay that's pretty clever even without the reward thing it's a good way of telling credit card companies to get hosed with their cash advance fees

stoutfish posted:nostalgia is a hell of a drug Thats what I love about Kickstarter. Most of the projects are "remember that thing you liked when you were a kid, well we are making a less good version of it." Pay us $10,000 and then you can have the privilege of paying for an airline ticket, hotel, and meals to fly out here and we'll hang out with you for a few hours and also name a character in-game after you. He'll even kind of look like you!!

reading rainbow is an actual good thing, though. if nostalgia gets it funded, so be it

it's over halfway to a mil, this is like super nostalgia, bolstered by the fact that you are actually funding A Good Thing and not just some video game you'll have forgotten about by the time it comes out from some devs who made a game you liked over a decade ago

anyway assuming the first wave of donors were to carry on just like it has it would pretty easily beat doublefine adventures to a million and take the 4th spot, but barring insanity we can be almost certain that the ouya will have gotten to a million faster which is really the most kickstarter thing ever

anthonypants posted:it's not going to make this much but kicktraq™ says it's trending towards $20m and it would be real nice if it made that much money you can't really trust kicktraq until about halfway in tbh, the way kickstarters make money is always lopsided towards the very start and very end
