change
When I was in high school, I used to collect nickels. Not nickles from different years or minted cities or anything. Just nickels.
I can’t remember how much lunch was, but I remember that part of the typical change back included a nickel. I found that people were very willing to give up their nickels if I just asked. I collected about $200-worth of nickels those four years.
Then inflation happened and apparently my friends, the Johnson’s, collect quarters. Well, more specifically, they only have one quarter that matters, and it’s their 2-year old who collected it.
But to find out where he collected it, you’ll have to ask Matt!
I’ll trade you all my nickels for your dimes.. the nickels are much bigger!

$200 in nickels? Are you serious?
So, you friends paid you leave, right?

I’d like to think not! Some of those nickels I kept from my own change and all too of course.

Want my pennies? I throw them away otherwise.
