Spare change
Spare change? Some people take the concept very seriously, and I’m not referring to the man who sits by the gate in the Old City. Somewhere in La-La land, a collector just paid $4.8 million to “own” a penny and a quarter. Sure, the coins were old (and tarnished), but the rarity drove this obviously (too) wealthy individual to continue frantically bidding until the auctioneer did the gavel thing. Please, if I ever get that keen on owning anything, swat me with a gavel!
