Extremely common euphemism, folks.
Maybe, but you still didn't answer the question. Don't short us like you do your video poker play...

Speaking of short coin FAA…..Do you go back far enough to remember these? Worn on belts by bus drivers and train Conductors among others. Also the Good Humor man. I know of at least one poster that will. OTABILL. Probably remember the first hand held Scientific Calculator HP-35. Too introduced in 1972. 395 bucks apiece.

Boy, do I remember those coin holders. As for the Good Humor man, "I 'm the friendly man who sells Good Humor. The ice cream kids all favor." :) Echoing Olds, FAA do you remember those days? Assume the Jitney drivers are not so equipped.

More and more places won’t even accept cash anymore…….I still bend down to pick up a penny. Tests my knees and balance that way…….Borrowing from grandparents…..” A penny saved is a penny earned “. FAA….ever hold one of these in your hand? 1793-1857. US Large Cent. Now that’s when a penny was a penny.

Jalopy in “action.” Rarely comes, circuitous route, often full, wacky passengers. Dispatcher constantly yacking up a storm with drivers to torture patrons.
