#92> Mobile Refrigeration — Minnesota The logistical chain for keeping products products is really interesting: * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_chain Besides food, another area where it is critical is pharmaceuticals.
I have to say, I like the Mobile Refrigeration coin the most.

#93Hmm.. I would’ve preferred Wozniak. They got the wrong Steve.
Woz is awesome and as an engineer I understand the urge to say he’s the main one who should be honored but we have to be realistic. Jobs ushered in 2 eras, only 1 with Woz. The personal computer and the computer in everyone’s pocket.
That’s not touching any of the other areas like helping to drive Pixar. Woz did not have a second act, which is perfectly fine and I deeply respect him but he doesn’t have quite the same cultural impact.

#94That is one ugly coin and doesn’t look like Steve Jobs. It also makes no sense to not include a computer. I get the “California theme but Steve and hills and trees doesn’t jive.
Agreed though the shape of the Cray-1 is really suited to be on a coin. The Jobs one looks really terrible.

#97weird design for steve jobs.. without context it looks like the depiction of some spiritual leader (which maybe is a bit funny given the early apple fanbase). I get he was a bit of a hippie, but that's not exactly his claim-to-fame > His posture and expression, as he is captured in a moment of reflection i dont associate "reflection" with him. not to disparage him in the slightest, but its just not in the top ten of…
If you scroll down there is a description explaining the pose:
> This design presents a young Steve Jobs sitting in front of a quintessentially northern California landscape of oak-covered rolling hills. His posture and expression, as he is captured in a moment of reflection, show how this environment inspired his vision to transform complex technology into something as intuitive and organic as nature itself. Inscriptions are “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” and “CALIFORNIA.” Additional inscriptions are “STEVE JOBS” and “MAKE SOMETHING WONDERFUL.”

#98Not American myself, and never been there - are there really $1 notes and coins, or am I missing something here?
The $1 dollar notes are very economically inefficient (they don't last all that long, haven't had enough value to justify notes for a long time), and the mint has been trying to get people to stop using them and switch to coins for a long time. However, there is significant popular opposition to that, people seem to massively prefer notes. At one point you could order $1 coins from the mint at face value and with fre…
The single biggest problem with $1 coins, is that they are of similar size to quarter-dollar coins.
26.50 mm (1.043 in) - $1.00
24.26 mm (0.955 in) - $0.25
I am not exactly sure of the reason that the mint is so resistant to making the coins a bit bigger (they used to be).

yeah, i don't wanna shit of steve jobs. I'm sure he reflects on stuff. (though this thing seems to suggest.. he needs to reflect on some real basic human stuff..) I'm sure you can find some cute quotes from Bill Gates too. It's just not really what he's known for just out of pure curiosity.. what's the context of this? He wrote a poem.. to email to himself? and.. how did he get access to his private emails? I can't t…
It was released by The Steve Jobs archive posthumously
The archive was launched by Laurene Powell Jobs in 2022

It reminds me of the scene from the movie where he’s taking LSD in the field.
