JOHN OLIVER ON RUSSIA'S CRIMEA COMMEMORATIVE COIN

Inspired by the video by comedian John Oliver about the U.S. cent, Chip Howell writes:

This one is not new, but readers may enjoy it, particularly the Putin commemorative coin

May 11, 2014
Russia and Ukraine go head to head in the Eurovision song contest, and Vladimir Putin mints a special coin to commemorate his annexation of the Crimean peninsula. (We come up with a better coin.)

Worthless desolate Landmass commemorative coin
