Yes, 50 is no small amount. The other morning at the health club there was a nice new, shiny penny on the floor. Saw several young people look at it as they walked by it. None of them would pick it up. I finally did. I know, I'm old. The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never let the dumbest ones lead the pack.

I remember getting a few coins when I was a wee lad. One guy said his grandson got a $20 bill from mom and dad for a lost tooth. I used to think I did alright on the tooth fairy until I got older and I was told the money always came out of my own piggy bank.
