Yesterday, I was walking. I saw a coin on the pavement. I thought it was a ₩100 coin (basically about a "dime" in value, but it's quarter-sized). Nobody was around, and it wasn't a busy area. "My lucky day," I thought. You never know when you might need an extra ten cents. I picked it up.
In fact, it was a US quarter. Further, it was one of those commemorative quarters – on the reverse, it said "U.S. Virgin Islands. United in Pride and Hope. 2009." There was an engraving of palm trees and some exotic bird.
Interesting, right? – on a street in suburban Seoul, finding such a thing. It was one of those novelistic moments, where, if there were an author, the author would have had some symbolic purpose for placing such a thing. Thus runs the mental train of a recreational apophenist such as myself.
