(S11) - PT 4 - Card Collecting

[infinitempg]

I'm a sucker for collecting coins - state quarters, national park quarters, presidential dollars, etc. At home, I have a book full of all 50 state quarters, although I don't have all 50 from both of the US mints (Philly and Denver). But there was one situation where I was too lazy to collect quarters - and my own professor capitalized.

I was running into my lab class that day a little tired but also a little early, so I decided that the best way to remedy the situation was to go to the basement and grab some candy from the vending machine. Lo and behold when I arrive there, I only have a $20 bill on me. The Twix bar I was going to get was $1.25 (what a ripoff amirite), but I was hungry and needed something to keep me awake so I went and got it.

I then realized my mistake when the vending machine started pooping out quarters like there was no tomorrow. I made my way upstairs with a Twix bar in my pocket and somewhere around $10 in dollar coins and the rest in quarters - many of which were presidential or state quarters. My professor noticed this and decided to take them off my hands by swapping a $20 for all of them - meaning my candy was free! It ended up being a double win for me because I didn't even need most of those quarters, as I already had them. I'll find my share of presidential dollars again one day though.
