I was fooling around with the macro lens and a quarter, when Heidi walked in and suggested looking at the coins we have from other countries. I was intrigued by this British pound that had writing on its edge, I've never seen coins with writing on the side. Heidi knew it was in Latin, but didn't know its meaning. The literal translation is no one provokes me with impunity. Put more simply, no one attacks me and gets away with it. I like the saying a lot, it's my new favorite Latin saying, not that I had one before.-G

the new dollar coins with the presidents on them will have words on the sides too.
