Wearing My Grandfather's Pocket Change
My grandfather owned a car dealership. Due to his work, he would travel a lot so he collected coins. But not like coin collectors do where they polish them up and keep them in glass frames or cases, my papa would come home from a long trip and toss them in the top of a shadow box table. That may sound fancy, but he used it more like the bowl near your front door where you throw your keys and whatever is taking up space in your pockets. It was a small three legged wooden table with a circular glass top you could screw off to reveal a velvet padded surface used to showcase something beautiful. It was full of dirty old coins from every country you could think of and the occasional crumpled up dollar bill.
