For Wednesday, May 7, 2008:

Besides the horrific disaster in the Republic of Myanmar, we touch on the rising cost of metals and their effect on certain US coins. The collecting of ancient coins has taught us that coin sizes typically decrease (as well as other effects) when a nation is in serious economic trouble. So, we note, where is the Roman Empire today? Will the US Empire face the same fate if it doesn't get its economic house back in order?
