Coins
So, I’m a part of this club on campus called “Interact” and we did a school-wide event called “Coin Wars”. Basically, for every coin you put in, you get + points and for every bill you put in, you get minus points. If you were to really hate someone in another class, you could sneak into their classroom and put a dollar bill into their milk jug. We had this going on for two weeks, and our grand total was… $1480.04. This means that we can buy 83 biosand water filters and we can provide 453 people with access to clean water.
That’s not the real point of my blog though (I was just boasting). We spent 3 days counting and sorting the coins and then one of the other officers brought up the idea of how many famous people might have touched these coins. We had coins from almost all the time periods; 1914, 1924, 1965, 2005, etcetera. Martin Luther King Jr. could have used one of the quarters; John F. Kennedy could have used one of the pennies; Eleanor Roosevelt might have gone shopping with the dimes. The ideas are endless!
Every coin has its own story and history, but we can only imagine. Oh, the things we could learn from these coins…

My Apple family! My first Apple product was a 4 GB iPod mini. Then my brother gave me a 4 GB iPod nano and then this year, he got me a 120 GB iPod classic.
