| One of the two gifts |
While I waited for the clerk to print out my receipt on the far side of the store I watched the man standing at the counter 12 feet to my right. He must have been selling something big, because his clerk walked away, came back with a stack of $100 bills, and started counting them out in a voice loud enough for me to hear. When the whole pile had been counted there were 52 bills!
The man was still standing there talking to the clerk when I walked out of the store. I would have liked to see if all his money actually fit into his wallet (or if not, exactly how he was going to carry it).

Those are beautiful gifts, keepsakes. That's a lot of money in cash, maybe he was paying for some renovations.
ReplyDeleteYes, I like the idea that (hopefully) the coins will be a keepsake instead of money to be spent.
DeleteThat would be about a quarter inch thick... He could probably get them in a wallet that wasn't crammed full of stuff. Sure wouldn't what to sit on it tho!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info. I wouldn't want to sit on it, either!
Deletewhat a clever idea!
ReplyDeleteThank you :-)
DeleteWhat a neat gift. As for the 52 grand, wow! You stood right by it for a minute.
ReplyDeleteFifty two grand out have been exciting, but since the bills were only hundreds the man 'only' had a little over five thousand dollars. Still a lot of money.
DeleteWow, that's a lot of money!
ReplyDeleteYEP.
DeleteI'm going to copy your coin gift! It's a really sweet idea.
ReplyDeleteMaybe the man was a Secret Santa and was going to hand out the money$$$
I hope the recipients of your gifts enjoy them as much as mine have. Wouldn't it have been exciting to stand next to a Secret Santa?
DeleteWhat a great idea ... welcome baby holder. Wish I'd known of it a few years back when I was working and girls in the office were having babies. Wonder if the coin shop has money holders for other occasions?
ReplyDeleteThe shop I go to has holders for just about ANY occasion.
