wouldn't that be only a thousand dollars?

I haven't used pennies ever, or coins for that matter until yesterday when I had to put in money at the parking meter.

No, it would be $10,000. (A million is a thousand * thousand.)

You meet more of them in schools than in kennels.

Should have never gone to that place in the first place. Filled with bunches of druggies and it made me stupider. Although telling a teacher she couldn't teach the history class and that I could teach it better didn't help much of my cause.

Yeah especially when I hand here a project and 5 mins later she says she 'never recieved it' and gives me an F.

  Plus she'd go into anti-abortion and pro-republican dieatribes every once in a while which then I would respond "What does this have to do with World War II?"

Oh, that teacher would drive me nuts.

  I so dislike how people (of authority) abuse their freaking power like that.  She is an insecure bitch, SD.  Don't mind her.  Past is past....someday, she'll regret she'd ever spoken to you like that!

well I don't go to that school anymore, so no it doesn't bother me that she tried and failed to fail me.

  She's bothering me now...oh that bitch!

The most I rolled was $27, :-P     Never again.

Those were all the pennies that few old students that have graduated (ex roommates of friends) - all contained in a shoe box.

  While stacking them up for rolling, I actually got a good pennies collection out of it, some 1920s ans 1930s and complete 1940s onward. Few years ago I caught my little one taking many of those pennies and putting it on the piggy bank (aaaarrrggghh).

  For Canadian penny, 1967 has a special design, a dove, I guess it is to commemorate the centenial celebration of Canadian Confederation - wow, lot's of Cs!

  Canada doesn't have Independence day (no fighting taken place in the making of the Canada as a country).

Yep Canada home of the peace doves.

Although Canada's the only country to burn down the white house.

They did that after America attacked York (Toronto) in the War of 1812. This caused the capital to be choosen up north a little ways because orginally they wanted Kingston Ontario to be the capital.
