Dimes or Nickels, Do You Have a Change Jar?
Which would you rather have, a trunk full of nickels or a trunk half full of dimes?
Trunk half full of dimes, assuming we're using the same trunk for each. Dimes are smaller than nickels so more of them would fit in a trunk. Half the trunk would still be worth more than a full trunk of nickels.

ReplyDeleteI'll take a sack of twenties anyday.
ReplyDeleteI'm from England and don't know how big nickels and dimes are or what they're worth! :->
ReplyDeleteWell I'd take the nickels because I don't think any store would accept dimes cut in half (:
ReplyDeleteDimes are smaller than nickels, so I would take them. I have no idea what the equivalent would be in England!
ReplyDeleteYou made me laugh Henry!
Deekin, if you have one, I'll share it with you!
A trunk half-full of dimes would really weigh your car down if you were trying to drive anywhere
