Simpsons: Episode 1920, All About Lisa

Bart and Homer head to an coin auction house, where Mr. Burns is seen buying all coins. The Kissing Lincolns is up for bid, and despite Homer bidding all he had and even more, Mr. Burns wins again. Mr. Burns refuses to give Homer the penny, prompting Homer to ask for change for a nickel. What Mr. Burns does not know, however, is that he had unintentionally given away the Kissing Lincolns.

Back then nickels had pictures of bumble bees on em! “Gimme five bees for a quarter” you’d say! Now where was I? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time…

It started as change for a pickle, but someone misheard and here we are.

Heh, I still have a few pennies kicking around, but for nostalgia reasons alone, those 5 pennies are worth more than your common nickel. So you might not get the change you want to see in the trade.

I had collected a large yogurt carton of pennies when they became obsolete, I gave them to a hippie gurl who would flatten them on the CN mainline to make earings
