I've been trying to figure out what other kind of forum games could be played besides 20 questions. Maybe if we had an open thread for riddles or jokes some of our members might make up about coins.

The coin I always associated V for Victory is the V nickel even though it is not of that era. Then there is the Canadian WW2
V nickel.

What coin does this remind you of?

Hint: the coin once was mistakenly thought by many to have this on it.

I didn't even notice there was a canoe on the wisconsin quarter. I guess most are not familiar with the slogan "tippecanoe and tyler too".
