This is my quarter collection. I keep it in a small black lacquered wooden box my mom brought back from a trip to Russia. I found some of these in pianos, some of them come out of the change machine at the laundromats (then it's a toss up between the quarter and dry clothes), and who knows where the other ones come from; maybe I dream them into my pocket.
