...when I went to scratch off the download code, it took me about 5 minutes to find a coin in this house. Gone are the days when I can just open up a junk drawer or stick my hand in the couch to find a penny or quarter or whatever. Money is a changing.

You sound Andy Rooney.

You ever notice how you can never find a penny when you actually need one? I mean, I’ve got a drawer full of rubber bands, expired coupons, and at least three mystery keys that don’t open anything—but not a single penny. Not one.

I remember a time when pennies were everywhere. You’d find them in couch cushions, under the car seat, even stuck to the bottom of your shoe. Now? It’s like they’ve gone into hiding. I think they’re unionizing or something.

And don’t get me started on those little coin trays at the store—“Take a penny, leave a penny.” I always leave one, never take one. Now I need one, and suddenly it’s like I’m trying to find a Fabergé egg.

I seem to have pennies everywhere. In my pocket, on my dresser, in the kitchen, the car, in my desk at work. I can't get rid of them. My sister once asked for $20. I didn't have any bills so I offered her a big bin of pennies. She took them to the coin exchange machine at Walmart.

We got rid of the penny here in Canada years ago.
