quarter in my purse

Today I found an american quarter in my purse.

They look like 10p pieces so I must have been given it by mistake.

I stopped and smiled.

Rubbed the dirt off it so I could see the detail on the back.

It's from South Carolina. It came all that way to end up randomly in my purse. Until now unnoticed.

No one else I showed really cared. They didn't see any value in a coin that couldn't be spent locally. 

It's times like this that I wonder if I will ever find a friend who is similar enough to me to appreciate the small things like the quarter.
