A magnetic key holder placed on the underside of your car doesn't have to contain keys - how about some change and a few emergency phone numbers?

Phone numbers such as the American Automobile Association (don't forget to include your acct #), your work, your kid's school, your spouse's work, spouse's cell, and the number of your best pal.

Just a thought. Might make a cute, inexpensive gift for friends and loved ones too.

"Enthusiams." - me as De Niro as Al Capone

I'm not at all enthusiastic about pennies. Many a time, I've seen a penny on the ground and not deigned to pick it up. Like children, a penny on the ground is likely to be sticky.

A nickel... I also probably wouldn't bother with. While a nickel might not be sticky, it may well be tacky or gummy.

A dime, now. A dime I would pick up. You can actually buy something with a few dimes. A nickel? What can you buy with a handful of nickels? Why am I significantly and disproportionally more enthusiastic about dimes than nickels? I dunno.

A quarter? Hell yeah I'm gonna pick up a quarter, I don't care if it has blood and gore on it. Maybe it hearkens back to my Pac-Man days, but a quarter is like, part of a soda or a honey bun or a load of laundry, quarters is money.
