So it's after hours, and I'm doing my last minute paperwork before I go home. There's been this Snickers bar sitting on the order desk for a while, and it's been tempting me. I got paid today, so I decided - what the hey? I'll go buy one out of the vending machine.

I rifle through my change box grab a couple of dimes, and manage to pull together seventy cents. Lucky me, they only cost sixty. I pop in my change, and one dime just refuses to "take." Doesn't matter, with another combination of cash, I've got the sixty five cents and get my candy.

I look at the dime that won't take - and it feels lighter than most dimes. I start thinking that it's maybe a counterfeit, it's so clean and overly shiney, and feels very light.

Then I look at the date - 1959. This is a SILVER dime!

Suddenly I'm glad the vending machine wouldn't take it. :D

...about sums up some things in life, doesn't it? Sometimes the prize isn't worth the effort, especially when you have something better already!
