Sex was great with Susan B. Anthony. No, not the woman on the dollar coin. My wife's name was Susan B. Anthony, like the famous activist. We got married in 1979, the year Susan's coin began circulation.

The coincidence manifested a tradition. Before intercourse, we'd always deposit a Susan B. Anthony into our piggy bank. "Sexual savings" we called it. Our sex life started out rich.

But publicly, the coin was so unpopular. Her limited production caused near celibacy. Divorce ensued.

In 2,000 I remarried. Sex is great with Sacagawea. No, not the woman on the dollar coin .
