Lol, tell me about it. I have tons of coins at my sister's right now.

I always had best luck going to shows with Franklin's in the wallet. Paying cash on the spot is always the cheapest way to obtain pm in my 40 year...
My wife has done it. When we first got married she would go around tidying up, not knowing I leave such stuff laying around. Anything round and...
