Adventures With Money

So, I was looking to see if I had any extra pens this morning, and I was ransacking my backpack in case I had left some in there from last semester. (Don't laugh. My lack of office supplies is a chronic problem here.) Anyways, I didn't find any pens. What I did find was my small supply of American money.

And it was so weird! It...looked so strange! It's all green and the same size and the coins are so thin and there aren't any two dollar or one dollar coins. (Or, for that matter, 50 lepta or 20 lepta coins.) And American money feels so different from Euros, which are in fact paper, not some strange other material.

I say it now- when I get back home in December, there will be culture shock.
