Legal Tender playing cards by Jackson Robinson

I wanted to take a moment to highlight Jackson Robinson's latest Kickstarter project, Legal Tender. Over the years, I've tried to stop giving Kickstarter projects too much publicity because I think the potential for harm is very high (somebody runs with the money and never makes the product, etc.).
