Brother, Can You Spare a .... Quarter?

A very long time ago, my sons nailed a quarter to the sidewalk outside the house, then peeped out of the window to see if anyone tried to pick it up.

Obviously nobody did. It's still there, twenty odd years later.

  1. I think every kid tries something like that. Pretty strong to get the nail through the quarter.
    Cute story.

  10. They must have worked hard to get the nail through the quarter! Don't kids have great imaginations?

  11. I hope it is not in a spot where you have to shovel the snow often. My daughter glued coins on the sidewalk for April Fools, and some determined individual walked away with a hard-earned forty cents.
