There’s a wooden bowl in my living room where, when I come in from an overseas trip, whatever small currency is left in my pocket gets dumped. I like keeping coins from other countries, and sometimes I decide the smaller bills are worth keeping too. I always figure I’ll land there next time with some local currency in my pocket – want to go back anyway, right?

The Francs and Deutsche Marks, the Lira and Guilders… well, I kinda ate it on that, but am happy to have them. Same thing happened with the CFA a few years ago. Still, I like having the old coins. Remembrances of fun trips.

By the way – it’s snowing here. I’m not kidding. Maybe 2-4″  (a little over 10cm max) tonight. Spring? They call this Spring? Sad….
