Ok, so here is the news for today. I tried to buy a chocolate bar from the vending machine today. I had 4 quarters, 1 nickel, and what I thought was 2 dimes. The machine kept on spitting out one of my dimes, so I looked at it and realized it was a 20 Lipa piece from Republik Hrvatska, AKA Croatia. This is not the first time this is happened to me. Aside from the odd American coin in my change once I got some random Oriental coin for a quarter… it’s not even close to the same size and it feels like it is made of aluminum.

Speaking of this vending machine, I have been choked for a month because all of the 3 Musketeers chocolate bars have been gone. Then I just realized today that there is a whole row of them but there is a Hazelnut crapbar in front of them. So I have to sacrifice $1.25 if I want to get to the 3 Musketeers.

Here is a little tidbit for you, apparently Americans hate it when they get Canadian quarters in their change because stores there wont accept them (if noticed). Here in Canada nobody cares because they are at least equal currency.
