[Canadiens1131]

[love2bmama]

whoever wrote that must not have watched Rome lately.

 

[tpsreports2424]

either she looks like a dude or the way the coin was made REALLY sucked!

 

[Butterscotch]

What a disappointment!

 

[WildHoneyAlways]

Pfft. I've known this forever.

I'm kinda wondering about Anthony now... What do you think, lights on or off?

I wonder if Ashlee Simpson is related to Cleopatra?

The other thing I don't understand is in the linked article it says the coin "is very collectable but not that rare"
