Penny Wise

The children’s museum had a special donations area. It held a big, metal collection box at children’s waist height that was shaped like the inside of a tornado. Kids would put a coin in their choice of slots, then watch it roll around and around, down to the covered collection at the bottom. Done right, the coins might flip, or jump on the way down.

Nancy thought it was a wonderful way to raise funds until her son stripped all the pennies from her purse and started in on the quarters.
