    Ah, well you already have a "wiki" answer, so I'll say: Hm, someone who liked "dimes."

    POLL: I like coins. You ever try to flip a dollar and see if it's heads or tails? Ever throw a dollar into a well and make a wish? Exactly. Coins are more popular.

    Just ask Dimebag Darrell. (10 points if you know who that is, haha)
