[geeks] I've just seen this

[Ken Hansen]

A few years after my wife & I married, I was getting ready to go to the
Trenton Computer Fair, and my wife watched me pull out a 1/3 filled water
bottle with a fair mix of silver (5, 10, and 25 cent pieces) to copper
(universal value?).

She asked me what I was planning to spend at the fair, I said just the money
from the Jar, no more.

She laughed and said "Great."

When it was all said and done, I had about $325 in coins!

She pissed and moaned ("What could you possibly need that you don't already
have?" to which the only suitable answer was "More." ;^), but she did agree.

I didn't even spend half.

And I really tried - but nothing leapt out at me that year...
