Are they up for minting on gold coins?




dcnovice -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (4/14/2010 6:47:16 PM)

You got it! They are this year's crop of presidential dollar coins.

Your turn, MM.

1812
1862

ShaharThorne -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (4/14/2010 6:59:59 PM)

Overtures based upon wars.




Musicmystery -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (4/14/2010 7:01:21 PM)

A good guess, but no.

War was part of the reason behind some of these, though.




Musicmystery -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (4/14/2010 7:29:36 PM)

Hint: the quartet is topical.




dcnovice -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (4/14/2010 7:35:04 PM)

Tariffs?




Musicmystery -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (4/14/2010 7:37:01 PM)

Not tariffs, but you're getting warmer.




dcnovice -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (4/14/2010 7:40:37 PM)

Arms agreements?




Musicmystery -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (4/14/2010 7:49:38 PM)

No, no.

This is an April 15 quartet.




dcnovice -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (4/14/2010 7:50:56 PM)

Times that the U.S. has imposed income taxes?




Musicmystery -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (4/14/2010 7:55:48 PM)

Yup! Well, they talked about it as a way to help pay for the War of 1812.

Then in 1862 to help pay for the Civil War. Just for a few years.

Again in 1894. But the Supreme Court struck down these plans (mainly concerning how they were constructed).

So in 1913, Congress passed the 16th Amendment, allowing today's federal income tax.

Your turn again, dc!




dcnovice -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (4/14/2010 8:07:06 PM)

NEW QUARTET:

J.J. Astor

dcnovice -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (4/14/2010 8:16:42 PM)

I have to crash, so I'll leave a pair of hints for the day shift to find.

(a) This quartet is topical.

(b) Sadly, the quartet is far from unique.




ShaharThorne -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (4/14/2010 8:17:32 PM)

Rich bastards who supports the Arts!

And they have museums named after them...




Musicmystery -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (4/14/2010 8:18:36 PM)

They were all on the Titanic--which sank on April 15, 1912.




dcnovice -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (4/14/2010 8:24:51 PM)

Right you are, MM. And they all went down with her.

Your turn!




Musicmystery -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (4/15/2010 4:35:17 AM)

New Quartet:

Buck Rogers
Jackie Robinson
In Living Color
McDonalds




Musicmystery -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (4/15/2010 10:31:04 AM)

Hint: this also is a topical quartet.




Musicmystery -> RE: What Do These Things Have In Common? (4/15/2010 4:07:07 PM)

At midnight, it will no longer be topical.
