On this day in 2003 (1 Feb) the space shuttle Columbia fell to earth; and the following year Janet Jackson fell from grace after a "wardrobe malfunction" exposed her breast during the half-time show at the Super Bowl.
And here in Australia in 1992, 1c and 2c coins are no longer available from banks but can still be used as legal tender (up to a point - 20c?). The copper coins are stored for prosterity and a time when they become collectors items or ... The price of copper escalates so much the value of metal in the coins invites smelting!

Prosterity = mix of "prosperity" and "posterity". Obviously the author was unable to decide (well, that's what I'd say anyway).
