Money

There was a book fair this evening (which was rather disappointing, but that's irrelevant). At the fair's second-hand book swap, I acquired a (Hebrew) counting book. It's cute, with lots of photos of babies and fingers and rubber duckies and suchlike. I was amused to note that on the last page, the little Israeli children were asked to count American dimes. Hee hee, it's not worth it to photograph Israeli coins, they'll never know the difference, etc., etc. Husbinator was also slightly amused, but his amusement stemmed from the fact that I don't seem to be able to recognize dimes anymore.

"Ike Dollar." Worth more than 10 cents.

Siiiiiigh. Whoops. But seriously, why would you have kids count outdated silver dollars? Have them count coins that they'll actually use one day! ...And don't make their mothers feel too ignorant, please.
