Some years ago, my lovely wife decided that it would be fun and educational for her and the kids to collect quarters from each state. Do you remember how they were gonna go from having one quarter to having 50 quarters with each state honored on one side? And how they would roll out each state one at a time? They would put them each in a little book and learn about the states as each new one was issued. Well the kids never got interested and most of us forgot about the whole quarter-state thing.
About 20 years later, my wife pulls down a box from on top of a cabinet and it contains a boat load of quarters and a bunch of paper tubes to hold them in. She hands it to me and says "Deal with this". So I finish rolling them all up and, while in the mood, go get my big plastic coke bottle and go through the whole process with it again. To make a long story short, I deposited about $800 total and now I get to start all over again.
