Yeah, Ceric mentioned it. It seems like a very strange move, I have no idea why they would increase the coinage, much less announce that they are doing it. That seems more like something to do quietly and hope that nobody notices.
As for the shirt, it's okay, but a little too plain for my taste. The laces actually look kind of cool, but I'd want matching shoes to go with them. So I decided to get the Mario poster set, which I was already considering, and since it's going to go up 50 coins next month I might as well get it now.
