US COINS

 Just got a shiny nickel in the mail to induce me to contribute to one of the dozen solicitations I received in today's mail. WHO is on the nickel below. I do not know! 

JUST MAILED IN my contribution to our writing group called MORE COFFEE PLEASE. It touched upon my performance in THIS IS MY BRAVE. Geez, I couldn't remember the title.
