The thing that surprises me most with #fascism is how that don't even bother to hide their intentions. They don't care, and it doesn't cause them to lose any support
In the #USA they are doing a #currency #coinage redesign and they... just fucking dropped the #OliveBranch from the design of the #Eagle symbol, which has been there for 250 years
Are they going to replace the missing Olive Branch with the fascist #Fasces symbol next year?
Comparison with the #US #Dollar:

The Maths of Coins and Currencies via Gresham College [Shared]
People have used money – and made counterfeits - for thousands of years. Archimedes came up with a clever way of finding out if you’ve been cheated by a goldsmith. Making coins with the right proportions of the right metals presented a huge mathematical challenge for Fibonacci and other mathematicians in the middle ages.
This lecture will discuss mathematical elements of coin design, denominations, and why former Gresham Professor of Astronomy Sir Christopher Wren favoured decimal coinage.

y'all ever expect something to exist, find out it doesn't, then have a "fine, I'll do it myself" moment?
turns out not only there somehow wasn't any Anki deck for #Czech coinage, there wasn't any tool to memorise them at all.
so I created one. enjoy!

In case anyone else wants a phrase for "this week between Christmas and New Year's, where very little can get done, because practically everyone is on vacation", I've been referring to it as the Dead Week for some years now. #coinage #neologism #newWords #language
