How can this be, you ask? Is it something from the mind of Hollywood, where trucks transform into robots and rap singers somehow become thespians? No, my credulous friends. Hear me out. You will recall that every coin features the silver Trade Center towers -- made with silver from vaults at Ground Zero! -- on a coin plated with gold from somewhere else, covering an unidentified metal that could be lead from recycled Chinese toys. They don't say. But before your eyes the towers rise again (you have to do this part) and stand proudly as a glittering sculptural tribute to the fallen landmark. To quote from the National Collector's Mint: "The effect is dazzling -- it is literally transformed into a standing sculpture of the Twin Towers!" (Exclamation marks theirs.)

The only thing 'breath taking' is people's gullibility.
