When I was younger I collected coins. I had all the different quarter sets. I had three elusive "dove pennies." At one point I had a penny from every year back to the 50s.
My parents and grandparents would deposit their change with me after going globetrotting, and so my collection slowly became international. I still have a tin at home filled to bursting with old coins and banknotes from the world over.
I keep one with me, though. I have it hanging on a simple black string, no clasp, and I wear it about my neck every single day. Have been for the past, oh seven years. Seriously, it only comes off to bathe. Formal event? It goes under the collared shirt. Or suit, if that's the case. Volleyball games? Wrapped around my ankle and tucked into my sock. I even sleep with the thing on.
Why?
I have my reasons.
