4. Consider the next coin, maybe $2. You should be able to buy a cheap lunch for a couple coins. Reminds me of my high school years in the sixties. A good cheeseburger or sandwich was 30 cents. A deluxe cheeseburger on a french roll was 36 cents. Fries were 17 cents, milkshakes were 19 cents. Never really had to use paper money, just change to buy lunch.

I came up with my lunch for coins ideas when I was in Germany for a couple of weeks. A couple 5 DM coins were good for lunch and I had to break out the 10 DM or bigger bills for dinner. That was when 1 DM was worth about 50 cents so the break point was $2.50 coin and $5 bill.

In the 50s when I started smoking, there was a cigarette machine in the local pool hall that you had to put two dimes in, pull the knob and out comes a pack of butts with three pennies change inside the outer wrapper.
Also, nobody cared how old you were as long as you could reach the coin slot.
