SiouxMD Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 Golden Buffalo to Roam Again, as a Coin The coin will be slightly larger and thicker than a Kennedy half dollar, will contain one ounce of gold and will be designated a $50 gold piece. The actual price will depend on the market price of an ounce of gold, plus markups. The design is a replica of the popular buffalo nickel that was minted from 1913 to 1938. The golden buffalo has a buffalo standing on a grassy mound on one side and a stern-looking Indian chief on the other side, duplicating the images created by famed artist James Earle Fraser for the 1913 nickel. IF...UND and NDSU resume play on the gridiron...do we play for the "Nickel" or a new coin I will call the "Fiddy"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CDog Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Maybe we could call it the "Fiddy Cent". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sioux-cia Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 I've thought about and decided the 'Nifty' sounds to peachy keen for a football trophy. I go back to my original vote, the Nickle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katohtr Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 I don't think that we should play for the nickel anymore...that era has ended and we all know who won the last contest for that. I do think that we should play for something though....just not anything called the "Fiddy." P.S. The "Fiddy-cent" was a pretty funny idea!

The only problem with "Fiddy-cent" is that the coin has a face value of "fiddy" $ not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottM Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Pronouncing the word "fifty" as "fiddy" is beyond obnoxious. It bothers me almost as much as the baggy pants and hats worn with the brim turned sideways. I feel sorry for those white boys who never realize they're going to "stay that color".

Todays youth will likely look back upon their sense of style similar to my generation and "parachute pants". Fortunately, my family was to poor to afford such luxury items...nothing but Wranglers!
