Reflections coming through the radio, the telephone, the TV

a_reasonable_man thought I could use a talisman and brought me a 1923 Peace dollar that belonged most likely to his grandfather's second wife. It's as old as my grandmother would be. I have buttoned it inside my coat. It's a treasure.

That's really neat. My dad acquired a silver dollar as a young man and decided not to spend it, so he carried it in his pocket every day. By the time I was a boy in the early 1970s, it had worn into a smooth featureless disk. People would see it when he pulled out his change to pay for something and they'd ask what it was. He'd reply "That's the new Nixon dollar!" I don't know what eventually happened to it, but I hope it was buried with him.

It sounds like a perfect grave good.

(I carried a French 50-franc note with the Little Prince and Antoine de Saint-Exupéry from 1999 for about two decades until it frayed in half.)
