My wife (a.k.a Motivated Mom) had the opportunity to do some beachcombing the other day. The pickings were pretty slim, but she did come home with some neat stuff - including sand dollars of various sizes.
And that got me started thinking. If the big specimens are called sand dollars, shouldn't the smaller ones be sand quarters and sand dimes?
And if so, would ten sand dimes be a fair exchange for one sand dollar? Or would the sand dollar, larger and more desirable, actually be worth fifteen sand dimes?
But then, should sand dimes really be called dimes if it would take fifteen of them to equal one sand dollar?
Now look what I've gone and done. I've turned a potentially relaxing stroll on the beach into an economic quandary.
