From Lauren, someone else is earning their seat in hell next to those people that sell 9/11 baseball caps.

Made from silver “recovered from Ground Zero” the valueless $30 (with 5 whole dollars going to charity! Really!) coin features real gold and silver (plating only, we care, but not 100% precious metal care, you know), pop-up twin towers, a bold bald eagle, and most importantly, the year 2001 struck right into it to remind us exactly what it was we’re never forgetting.

95 percent of Americans questioned in the poll do remember the month and the day of the attacks, according to Wednesday’s edition of the Washington Post. But when asked about the year, 30 percent could not give a correct answer.

The National Collector’s Mint schools us all in solemn website class: go to the site (and by site, I mean page) for the coin and click on the animated gif, or the banner, or anywhere on the top of the page. It’s a link to the bottom of the page - all it does is scroll down a couple of inches so that you can more clearly see where to enter your credit card number.
