Latin Everyday - Grocery Store

Over the weekend, I went to the grocery store. I was paying for my groceries and pulled out two quarters, because change is stupid. A guy behind me in line lectured me for five minutes about the meaning behind "E Pluribus Unum", which is a Latin phrase that means "Out of many, one". He explained that it's referring to the multiple United States that fall under one America. I don't know if he was being poetic and patriotic, or if that was actually true. However, I do now know after looking it up, that he was right. Shout out to Bill for teaching me about Latin and America, even though I already knew about it... sort of.

this is a quarter
