The Depleted Uranium was a nice touch, also the gas pump racing the eagle to the moon.

The Barbara Bush coin gave me a shock - for a second I thought it was the evil ghost of Maggie Thatcher reaching out from beyond the grave to form a new Mag/Ron alliance, possible with Bush as the second coming of Reagan.

The cover of the book Bush is reading (on the 100 G coin) is an interesting detail.

In the future, these coins will be worth a Brazilian dollars.
