	Sudden Philosophical Tangent
		But the Canadian change I have in front of me now is worth less: a few dimes and quarters, and pennies that can be used interchangeably with US pennies because no one ever pays in pennies a sum large enough that the exchange rate would matter.
		Obviously the Canadian dime was not designed based on the summer experiences of a group of privileged American teenagers, but my psychological connection to the coin can nevertheless be illuminating.
		If I look at the coin long enough, and it’s cold enough outside, the glare from the fluorescent light and the shiny surface of the coin becomes the glare from the summer sun and the glittering surface of the lake.

	Middle East Open Encyclopedia: Coin
		Coins are popularly used as a sort of two-sided die; in order to choose between two options with a random possibility, one choice will be labeled "heads" and the other "tails," and a coin will be flipped or "tossed" to see whether the heads or tails side comes up on top.
		Some coins have coin orientation, where the coin must be flipped vertically to see the other side; other coins, such as British coins, have medallic orientation, where the coin must be flipped horizontally to see the other side.
		A coin is usually a piece of hard material, generally metal and usually in the shape of a disc, which is issued by a government to be used as a form of money.

		For coins, I have a few slightly off - center pieces (no design missing), a couple of clipped planchets, a mild chipped die Roosevelt Dime (a hunk of die was missing between the D and his neck), and a Jefferson Nickel that seems to have had some foreign material caught in the die.

	An Aussie in America - Coins
		The appearance of copper coins (in change, in pockets, on bedside tables, in ashtrays, in old jam jars, under cushions, down the backs of car seats, et cetera) is quite a nostalgia kick for Australians who said a fond farewell to their 1c and 2c coinage around 1990.
