I got a couple of the Dunkin Donuts coins as gifts. Lenny and Keef I think. Mikey too. Not sure why he was on one.

I saw them in the Parade magazine once, aren't they hilarious?

The Jeter quarter does the little things that help you become a winner in life. Running late for work and need to scrounge up for bus fare? The Jeter quarter is there. Got a hot date a need some breath mints? The Jeter quarter can help you out. Your cellphone battery dies and you need to make an important call from a payphone? The Jeter quarter will smack a double down the slot. On the other hand, you can't count on the A-Rod quarter. Sure it will help you in garbage time to get some candy at the five & dime, but that will just rot your teeth and make you feel ill. A-Rod's just two bits and can't help you with your BIG purchases.
