Show TO CHANCE A QUARTER It Requires Seventy Cents and Thirty-Two Thirty-Two Coins. "How much does it take to change a quai Ur?" sskci the bartend-ir. "Twenty-five cents, eh? Not on your lifa. It takes seventy cents to do the trick. How' many ways do you suppose a quarter dollar can be changed? Just exactly eleven. A fellow of limited means may like the jingle of coin in his clothes. In that event you can give him twenty-five pennies, or twenty pennies and one nickel, supposing he wants to get a beer. He may like to have a little sprink'.ing of silver in his clothes, and ycu can r.ccommodate him with fifteen penn es a d a dime, or ten pennies, a dime and a nickel. If he prefers to have change handy for a beer and a car faref why fifteen pennies pen-nies and two -nickels will fix him up;, and, if he wants a cigar in addition, besi "es having a ittle stock of cash in his jeans, g'.ve him ten pennies and three nickeis. , That makes six ways. Now, then, a fe low with a quarter can trade it off for five pennies and four nickels, two dimes and one nickel, and dime and three nickels, or five nickels, just as he prefers. And to accommodate accommo-date him in any way he might select, you have to possess twenty-five pennies, pen-nies, two dimes and five nickels 70 cents in all." Philadelphia Record. |
