I could, too. But my closet is currently full. Of things Nim doesn't want to meet.
So, what sort of artwork should have gone with Swedish Euro coins? ABBA in the twofer, Bj�rn Borg in the 1�, kn�ckebr�d or dalah�st in the cents? It seems the artists got their deadline pushed back a bit.

Had we gotten a "Yes", they would've put Anna Lindh on the coin...
Ever since the 80's she's been slated as our first female prime minister to-be. She would've succeeded G�ran Persson, though she herself never talked about it. She walked in Olof Palme's footsteps, taking the same interest in international events and, in particular, human rights violations.
So in a way, we were robbed of our future, as the temporary successor to Lindh said.

So I can send him Euros. Unfortunately I spent all my Greek Euro coins in Italy, so all I have at the moment are Italian Euros. If you like I'll try to assemble a selection of Czech coins as well, although you'll have to wait a coupla months for those. 8)

I dream of wandering around Yakima waving a fistful of euros in the faces of innocent merchants and accusing them of not taking real currency. There's a friend of my family who travels a lot, and has a fancy collector's booklet filled with all the euro coins available at the time, but I want to weigh down my pockets with them, rattle them together as I walk, listening to Kraftwerk and thumbing through a dogeared copy of Nausea.
I also wonder what secret messages Nim was transmitting.

Hypothetical situation: I am given a person shifting machine, and I can become anybody in the world.
I make a list of people to be. Maybe not first, or second, or third, or even in the top ten, or twenty, or maybe even thirty or forty, but Simon Sizer is on that list, somewhere.
