Flashback Friday-1992

Sorry, I'm posting this on Saturday. I had to go out of town unexpectedly yesterday. Plus, I know this Flashback Friday was only about 20 years ago, but I love the 90s so it's allowed. This is the newest coin I found for my collection! Someone paid with it as a quarter and I am so glad they did. It's so cool looking and I don't have one like it. 

1992-The first Nicotine patch is introduced to help stop smoking and DNA Fingerprinting is invented. In The UK Rioting breaks out in Cities including Bristol. In France, Euro Disney opens. In the US, Bill Clinton becomes president and the largest Mall in America, Minnesota's Mall of America, is constructed spanning 78 acres. The Redskins defeated the Buffalo Bills in Super Bowl XXVI, the Seinfeld episode "The Contest" airs, SciFi Channel launched with a broadcast of Star Wars, Cartoon Network launches in the US, Barney & FriendsMelrose Place and Dateline NBC all premiere, Jay Leno becomes host of the Tonight Show.

  7. Oh good ol' 1992, I really wish I had been a teenager instead of a small child in the early 1990's, I like a lot of the music from that era - not exactly popular music (although I liked some of that too) but the other music. Aladdin! I've been dying to buy Aladdin on DVD but those stingy Disney people haven't released it in years. One of my old roommates had it on DVD and I always use to stare at it lovingly.
