Dear Tom,

Auntie Christina and I thought you might enjoy this story. I think it's pretty funny.

I've been trying to figure out which Brooklyn VIPs should be on each of the bills and coins.

I guess you could just go for the Unknown Kickball Player or something. Or a tattoo artist. Or a skinny hipster boy wearing decommissioned line-cook pants that he got for two dollars at Beacon's Closet.

Rest assured this narcissist will be on any form of Brooklyn currency.

You know, you're right ... those jowls are impressively Caesarean. We need to have this man's profile stamped on a coin.

I don't actually know how to paste an image in here, but I'm gonna say... Gabe Kaplan as Mr. Kotter on the bill, with Barbarino, Horshack, Epstein and the rest of the gang on the coins.
