  1. i got coins in my pocket, they’re shiny as gold, although i know they’re not made of that. I wish I had golden coins. I could buy all the world and make people make it better. Huge stuff could happen, if i had golden coins.

  2. i saw a coin it was on the floor i picked it up and walked into the nearest store to see what i could get with it. there was a stack of papers on the counter top. I bought one with my coin. it was a ticket for a chance to win a car. I waited for the number to be called and it was mine. i won it was a red car that was sitting outside the store. the owner gave me the keys and i drove away. I stopped at the stop sign and thought about the coin. was it really lucky? I thought so until an ice cream truck ran smack into the back of my new car. the rear end was completely folded. I don’t know how I was able to get out but I was not injured. what a surprise that turned out to be. then I the police came and said the car was stolen., I told them I won it from the owner of the store. They said he called it in as soon as I left. I was arrested then sent to jail and now I sit here and just think about that coin. That very unlucky coin.

  4. Kerzenschein erleuchtete den Tisch in der dunklen Nacht. Und er zählte sie. Stapelte sie. Er schrieb sich ihre Anzahl auf einen Zettel. Errechnete den Welt eines jeden Häufchens. Er bemühte sich sehr die Zahlen nicht zu verdrehen. Er nahm die Finger zu Hilfe. So viele Zahlen. Er verzählte sich. Er schichtete die Stapel um. Er zählte erneut. Beschrieb neue Zettel.

    Am Ende wischte er sich zufrieden über die müden Augen. Er freute sich. Es reichte gewiss für einen Laib Brot. Morgen würde er keinen Hunger leiden müssen.

  5. I drop it in the meter and watch the time extend a minute, then I drop another, and it’s another minute added on. I wonder, if we could chug coins into the life meter, how much of it would we really cherish?

  6. The lucky coin, a symbol of our determination to do better. What happened to it? Did you spend it already? I suppose at this point, we can’t rely on luck anymore. For me, at least, it’s the prospect of graduation, the eagerness. I can almost see it. Let’s work hard in these final moments to strive for the best.

  7. I flipped the coin high up in the air. I watched in fall, almost in slow motion back to earth. It looked so casual, not knowing that it held my fate in its heads or tails.

  8. The coin was round and sparkly. It shone in the sun, attracting the attention of a small boy, no more than ten years old. The boy had pokey brown hair and pokier bones. He’d been waiting days since his last meal, and was overjoyed to find a coin that could feed him for three days.

  9. something that i don’t have much of. it’s pretty easy to lose, too. i can’t seem to find enough of it when i get to a toll or in need of 7 cents for tax on a dollar. i can’t get enough of it and i hate it too.

  10. I coined the phrase he used over and over again. It still made no sense to me. It never made any sense to anyone, it seemed. But we all looked up at him, expectantly waiting on his next call and use of the phrase that perplexed every one of us. We loved him and it will always be so.

  12. I have one coin in my pocket. It is my choice to spend it as i wish. It will nag me senseless until it is spent. I’m so fortunate that money doesn’t actually burn a hole in your pocket if you don’t spend it immediately.

  13. coin, i have one in my pocket. the sum of those little pieces of metal defines a person. Dont kid yourself by saying it doesnt. The amount of money you have in life determines everything about you, sad but true.

  14. hands in my pockets. beggar on the street asking for some change. i pull out everything. coins, receipts, two or three wadded-up ones, ticket stubs, a matchbox from Balthazar… pieces of my life. i give it all to him and go on my way. he can toss the parts of me he doesn’t need and keep the rest. like my ex did. he can do it. put it toward toward his wildest dream. even if it’s just to buy a bottle of thunderbird. whatever brings him joy in the moment he has on earth.

  16. Du Münzenmensch! Gib mir all dein Geld, sofort!
    Ich kenne dich, deine Familie, deinen Stand und deine Seele.
    Du kannst dich nie und nimmer freikaufen, also zahl endlich oder stirb!
    Sterben müssen wir alle, nur ich suche etwas Süße für mein Grab.

  17. Money and gold and greed and power… cool currencies, all over the world, make me smile. I like to think that coins carry some sort of trace of ancient civilisations :D. Each tell a story and can travel all over the world, yet you can hold them easily in your hand. Coins are amazing!

  18. When I think of a coin I just want to purposely lay a penny on heads on a sidewalk. To think I can put the idea of good luck into someone’s mind is possibly one of the nicest gifts of all. It could make someone’s day, I’d like to think I’ve done that sort of good.

  20. “oh what a lovely coin you have there sir.” Said a lovely young girl. “How much?” She inquired. “Oh this coin is not for sale my young love. For it has a cures on it.” HE said with a smile.

  21. her pocket was full of coins of all sorts; american, english, french, italian… even a few from singapore.

    she put her hand in to move them around, feel the edges, the odd shapes… it was difficult to sort them by feel, as she had hundreds in the cargo pants she was wearing.

    he’d collected them in his travels-collected the coins and collected the various women he’d slept with during their time together.

    on the edge of the pool, looking into the deep end, she moved to become one with the water, knowing he’d have to also collect her when he finally came home.

    closing her eyes, she took that first/last step.

  22. so i was walking down the street the other day and i found a golden coin on the ground. it was rather strange though, seeing as how ever since then my luck has never failed me.

  29. the coin is shiny and metallic. its robotic features are a testament to the hypocrisy of our human ways. they mock our fragile bodies and laugh in their triumphant metal cases. its no wonder that they all have superior existance.

  30. The coin in her hand was small and worn. It showed a figure on some sort of chariot, going right to left. She was excited, spoke of Bodiccea and the Roman empire. I couldn’t tell her about Esso issueing mass numbers of such old coins twenty years ago.

  33. coin heißt münze. das englische wort klingt rund. klimpert, coin-coin-coin … eine münze, die auf den boden fällt, ein paar mal hüpft, dabei metallisch scheppert, sich dreht, immer flacher und flacher, bis sie auf dem boden vor meinen füßen liegenbleibt.

  34. a round thing used as a form of currency. i like money. money is good. They often say that money is not the ruit of happiness but, i imagine it could make me very happy. Also consider the term ‘to coin’ something meaning to take for yourself.

  35. coining phrases
    counting coins
    counting the minutes
    the hours
    the days
    it sometimes rains pennies from heaven
    and sometimes there’s just drought
    how rich a person is
    with or without
    coins

  36. I knew there was no way I could win. The glimmering silver object careened through the air, and I closed my eyes and hoped for heads.

    The verdict: Heads.

  38. We always fight over money. You never trust me enough to be like, ‘Here babe, buy what you want. Today it’s on me.’ Never. I can’t even go out and have a few drinks without you asking and battering me with suspisions about who and where i was and how i came up with the money.
