You and me both. Now days people send their kids off to college with a cell phone. When I went off to college my Mom gave me a roll of quarters to use to call home with. I used phone hacks instead and spent the quarters on beer :) Back then a roll of quarters bought enough beers to get you pretty buzzed.

Ha! I remember the thrill of having a roll of quarters at Buck a Draft night.
