There was a time when I thought that coin was treasure.

Those coins (and all change from cash transactions) go in the kids' piggy banks. They watch the banks get heavier and heavier, then we roll the coins and take them to the bank. my son has a pretty nice car fund saved up, and he's only 10! (hi-five, jib!)

Nothing makes them happier than finding a coin on the ground. Except when the coin has been sitting in the sun all day, then they immediately regret the decision to drop it in their pocket!

BUT, the other day I gave the guy a 10 and 2 singles for a bill of $6.38. Dude kept trying to hand me the singles back, before any keystrokes on the newfangled money box. Couldn't fathom that I wanted a fiver in my pocket, and not five singles.
