<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim Dale, post: 8388592, member: 100459&quot;]When I was 13, I had a paper route.&nbsp; Not only did I ran my paper route, but I also had to collect from my customers.&nbsp; It was collecting that I would receive coins from my customers.&nbsp; Each Christmas, I would get $5 from almost all of my customers.&nbsp; Other Christmas tips were in coins.&nbsp; One Christmas, the wife gave me 4 Quarters that she got from her husbands coin collection. They were Standing Liberties.&nbsp; I was so excited that I couldn&#039;t wait until my father came home.&nbsp; My bubble burst when he told me that they were very expensive coins and probably came from the Husband&#039;s coin collection.&nbsp; He told me that I would have to return the coins.&nbsp; It was late, so I had to wait until the next day.&nbsp; When I returned the coins to my customer (husband), I handed the quarters to him.&nbsp; He was so excited that he hugged me. (That was not cool for a 13 year old boy.)&nbsp; He thanked me over and over.&nbsp; He explained how important the coins were to him.&nbsp; He then, got a $20 out of his wallet and gave it to me.&nbsp; My father told me that it was too much.&nbsp; My customer took the $20 and asked me, as he looked at my father, he asked if $5 would be acceptable.&nbsp; My father said that $5 would be fine.&nbsp; (Two times my bubble burst.&nbsp; First the quarters and then the $20.&nbsp; For being in 1960, $5 was a great tip.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
