Great Movie Guys!

Just saw The Departed. It was great--with a capital G! I don't get out to too many movies that aren't animated these days. Glad I saved up my visit to the multiplex for such a good one. Leonardo DiCaprio is making up for some of those crappy roles he's had lately. Matt Damon plays devious and coniving too well to believe he's normal (The Talented Mr. Ripley). And Jack? Couldn't have been a better role for Nicholson. The reviews were right on.

On another tangent, is it just coincidence that U.S. coins are manufactured to be of equal weight on both sides providing statistically even chances in a flip? The designs are different on either side, is the weight figured into the design? Were coins always made that way? Or was it just a interesting phenomena that occured and someone and decided to carry it on? Just another random thought from my brain to yours.
