The most valuable ancient Roman coin ever sold was a Brutus coin, minted in 42 BC before his battle with Octavian and Mark Antony. The face of the coin has Brutus’s image (which was shocking at the time), and the reverse shows 2 daggers and the inscription "EID MAR" which means “Ides of March.” It’s basically a gangster coin saying, “I killed Caesar.” Only a few exist, and a gold one sold for $4 million. Another, with a hole from being worn as jewelry, sold for $2.5 million. Silver versions are more common but still six-figure coins.

How do people actually make money on Youtube?
Hey ya’ll! I’m curious about how people actually make money on YouTube. I’ve been thinking about starting a channel myself to try and earn some side gig money, but I don’t actually know the mechanics behind how that works. Is it like a views thing where videos make money at a certain threshold? Or is it a subscribers thing? Basically, how would I go about making money on YouTube?

How to be effortlessly cool
Look, I know I’m not the coolest dude of all time. I think I’m funny, I’m pretty nice, and I’m not particularly bad looking, but I know I’m not cool you know? How do authentically cool people manage to come off so laid back and un-cringey. How do I do it? How do I get that cool kid energy? I’m a boy in high school if it helps.

Should you kiss on the first date?
M23 here. What are your thoughts on kissing on a first date? I can never tell when I go on a date whether I should try for a kiss, how to do it, or when. I often end up not even attempting it because I don't want to come off too strong and frankly I also don't want to be rejected. Is it safest to just wait until date number 2? Or if not, how do you initiate a kiss on a first date?

What are the easiest, safest methods to send money to someone?
So I’m not going to lie, I’m pretty good at this adulting thing but I’ve never sent money to someone. Friends will talk about sending each other monety to split the cost of dinner or concert tickets or whatever but I always just pay someone in cash because I’m kind of paranoid about screwing this up and losing the money somehow. How can I send money to someone super safely?
