They were a dime a dozen. That is, cheap and common.

note (en-en)
I found a coin. It seemed old and rare. But my friend, numismatist, told me that coins like that were (look at the picture). What did he say? What did he mean?

Alexander, where did your previous puzzle go? I cant find it anymore... I never knew what the answer was. Thanks.
Alexander Machtakovadded a comment 8 years ago
Marissa, as far as I know that idiom is mostly used in Australia, so I decided to delete it, because I prefer posting somithing well known. The idiom was "to cut someone's grass" which means to flirt, or something like that, with someone who's already taken.

Oh, you deleted it. I see. So, it is to flirt but only when the person is already taken. Thanks. I have no intention to cut anyone's grass for now. :-)

:-D For me it's taboo. But I heard that idiom from my Aussie friend who had a crush on a lady here in Russia, and saw me having a conversation with her at a party :-)
Marissa Zebaduaadded a comment 8 years ago
Lol. Is that real? Maybe he reacted that way because rumors says there are so many little women in Australia...so he might wanted to keep the one he had a crush on. Still, the lady wasnt taken. Oh, well, guys and their Macho alfa territory ;-)

Yep, it's real! Actually I was wrong, the definition of the idiom is Getting/flirting with someone who your friend has already gotten with or 'shotgunned', and I knew he'd shotgunned her. But I really wasn't going to cut his grass anyway.
