Today, I stopped by the hardware store to pickup up some spackle which cost $3.99. I handed the clerk four singles to which he gave me the correct amount of change of one penny. I signaled that I didn’t need the penny back, thank you. And at that point an elderly gentleman interjected with a straight face that he once bought a Mercedes Benz using pennies that he had collected. He then raised his eyebrow as if to say “true story” and turned about to walk in the other direction.
