The 100 !

 I started binge watching a show on NETFLIX !


Synopsis from Wikipedia 
Ninety-seven years after a devastating nuclear apocalypse wipes out almost all life on Earth, thousands of people now live in a space station orbiting Earth, which they call the Ark. Three generations have been born in space, but when life-support systems on the Ark begin to fail, one hundred juvenile detainees are sent to Earth in a last attempt to determine whether it is habitable, or at least save resources for the remaining residents of the Ark. They discover that some survived the apocalypse: the grounders, who live in clans locked in a power struggle; the Reapers, another group of grounders who have been turned into cannibals by the Mountain Men; and the Mountain Men, who live in Mount Weather, descended from those who locked themselves away before the apocalypse. Under the leadership of Bellamy and Clarke, the juveniles attempt to survive the harsh surface conditions, battle hostile grounders and establish communication with the Ark.

I'm into the 3rd season it keeps me guessing - 
I did notice something cool in the dining hall in Mount Weather -


So even after a Nuclear Apocalypse
Good things remain !

I wonder who on the production crew placed the Flag ?

GOOD JOB to whoever put it there !

Because I Can !

They can remove monuments and ain't a lot I can do about it !

I can stamp pennies and put them in circulation - they might be in circulation for hundreds of years.

Ain't much anyone can do about my pennies*. If it makes you mad "I WIN !"

 if it makes you glad " I WIN !"




 *Section 331 of Title 18 of the United States code provides criminal penalties for anyone who fraudulently alters, defaces, mutilates impairs, diminishes, falsifies, scales, or lightens any of the coins coined at the Mints of the United States. This statute means that you may be violating the law if you change the appearance of the coin and fraudulently represent it to be other than the altered coin that it is. As a matter of policy, the Mint does not promote coloring, plating or altering U.S. coinage: however, there are no sanctions against such activity absent fraudulent intent.  




So what this is saying is that it's illegal to alter coins for the intention of defrauding someone; for example, making a quarter look like a dollar, or changing the date on an old coin to one that is more rare and valuable. 



 And there are no sanctions against coloring, plating or altering U.S. coinage.
So, smashing a penny in a machine at Disneyland is perfectly legal.


  Altering a quarter or silver dollar so it forms a ring  that you can wear is perfectly legal. 



                                  Stamping words or letters on a coin is also perfectly legal.
