I dunno why, but something about these living coins both freaks me out and makes me want to laugh. I think it's the heads side being the side that "eats" that creeps me out - there's just something about that one detail that makes it really work.
You justknow this thing has been abused in the past prior to acquisition…
The fact that it poops just made me laugh until I cried.
SCP-588 is a species of the American Quarter.
I'm not too sure species is the right word. I mean whilst it works in context it postulates that the other non-SCP coins were also alive.
… for a given value ofalive anyway. You can see where I'm going with this.
Well, you could say it's aSpecie of American Quarter, but that would be redundant.
Can someone explain to me why this object is Keter? It seems closer to Euclid as
1. It is easily contained and controlled.
2. Only acts like a living creature, albeit one of nickel.
It's easy to keep it contained. But it was damn difficult to contain it in the first place and if containment fails it would be difficult to contain again. YOU try to squeeze an object into a tight hole while it's eating everything that comes in contact with one side of it.
Also, most living creatures only have one food source. This eats anything.
That's not really good enough.
This seems like a Euclid at best, bordering on Safe.
and it's really badly written.
What I think is terrifying is the idea that a pack of quarters can, and will, hunt and consume something.
This piques my interest. Requesting permission to do a re-write if Dr. Grangan doesn't want to.
Ohha. Much improved! +1.
That said, I did rather like the terseness of the original. Yes, it went too far, but is there anything here that could be cut without sacrificing too much content?
At least it's just one variety, the 25 cent piece. Think if there were also versions that mimicked the other common 'silverish' US coins.
We'd literally have people being nickeled and dimed to death.
(Sorry, I'll shut up now.)
You're just buying time until you can think of a better one.
I'm trying to kill you all through the internet with my mind.

I don't think you understand what I mint, then.
…
God, I hate myself now.

Sorry, bright, I didn't quite cash that.
Heads up, guys. This is getting a bittoo punny.
EDIT:damn it.
Salman. We've established that bright doesn't appreciate the value of financial puns.
You could say Bright and I are two sides of the same coin.
EDIT: Oh, fine. I'll pack up stock.
I don't know what Bright's problem is, myself. I think the puns are just capital. But I suppose it's the principle of the thing.
Ah… can't believe I didn't have this one upvoted. I like this for being funny and WTF but kind of creepy in a what-if-I'm-surrounded-by-these-things way. Overall, an excellent take on the format, and something that people wondering what kind of SCP they should write should look at.
