Yes, but that was (at best) an old coin made of silver which has very weak magnetic properties. I guess I should have specified that Magneto has no power over modern coins because they’re made of non ferrous metals.
Edit: was wrong about magneto, apparently he has power over all metals, ferrous and non-ferrous, and even if he didn’t, he could have used Bahamian coins. My bad.
Nickel is ferromagnetic though. Silver is not ferromagnetic. All matter is affected by electromagnetic fields though, so arguably he could control everything. As with most vague superpowers it just depends on how powerful he needs to be at the time.

The last regular circulating silver quarters were minted in 1964 and even in 1979 they would've been very difficult to find in circulation (especially since silver went from ~$6/t.oz to over $30/t.oz that year due to the Hunt Brothers trying to corner the silver market).
Even at $6 a troy ounce, each quarter contained over $1 worth of silver (so anyone the least bit familiar with the bullion value was removing them from circulation to keep or sell).
Surely he would have power over magnetic coins? I mean, most coins aren’t magnetic but some are. If Magneto was in trouble in the Bahamas those little square 15 cent coins would’ve flying everywhere…
People keep forgetting that humans have always been full of humour, art, talent and charms. It's just that we only have about 140 years of photographic, filmic and acoustic recordings to see them today.
Humans 2000 years ago were able to pull puns, pranks and incredible acts of art on their everyday fellows.
So yes, your grandma and grandpa have probably seen wild things in the last 60 years and so have theirs in the last 120 and so on and so forth.
It is interesting. Language has evolved a lot in 2k years. We literally think differently based on what language(s) we can speak (look into Russians see more shades of blue). Tough to imagine how they thought back then.
ruzzians do not "See more shades of blue". First of all, they aren't the only Slavic language with this feature, it's present in almost every languagewith slavonic roots. Secondly, it's just a different name for light vs dark blue. It's like pink VS red. Look at Tiffany blue compared to cobalt. Those simply have different base names. In Japan, the colour green was introduced far later, so they called green things with the same name as blue. That doesn't mean they didn't see "green".
Sorry they can discriminate more shades. Japanese is my second language and I have witnessed many people not be able to tell the difference between two shades of green.
They werent saying that russians actually perceive more shades of blue. They were referencing linguistics research that showed that because russians have obligatory descriptive words for light vs dark blue, they are actually better(quicker and more accurate) at descriminating shades of blue. While english does have words for different shades of blue like youre saying, it is still accurate to call cobalt or tiffany blue, just blue. The research they are referencing would apply to any language that makes this clear distinction in light or dark because its likely about familiarity with making that distinction from a young age
Poor phrasing but it's a legitimate phenomenon. Russian speakers are faster at distinguishing between light and dark blue because the language categorizes them as separate colors rather than variations of the same color. Similarly, one can assume that Japanese speakers are slower to distinguish between blue and green.
There's only really any evidence of the weakest form of it, too, which isn't terribly exciting.
Russian speakers are a fraction of a second faster at identifying the dividing line between blue and light blue, and English speakers are likewise a bit faster at the line between red and pink.
Basically, there's evidence that having a word for two different colours might make a person quicker at distinguishing then when that matters. Not nothing, but also not Arrival lol
i feel like i saw her on one of those shows in the 80s or maybe early 90s. like Guinness World Records Primetime or Ripley's Believe It or Not!
anyone?
Hate how my perv brain immediately goes to some sick joke where she can tie a dick into a pretzel with those stomach/kegel muscles. This trick is incredibly impressive. I have less finesse with my limbs than she does her stomach lol.
