Steve, I think you have Mark Twain confused with Jean Shepherd, and they haven't made a coin for him yet. ;) You don't have to love 'em. You just have to buy 'em. Or, you can donate to all four Mark Twain sites at once and skip buying the coins altogether. Click here, and help the causes: http://www.marktwaincoins.org Collaborative fundraising made simple. Thanks, all!

What's up with pipe rather than cigar (if you're gonna show Twain smoking). And I could have done without the "in God We Trust" unless they went ahead and added "ALL OTHERS PAY CASH" ;-) --Steve Hoffman Takoma Park
