I love it when I learn new pieces of information that will probably be of no use unless I'm stuck in an awkward conversation with nothing to say. Did you know that hobo nickels (altered coins) were first carved in the mid-18th century and that the most popular design of the time was the "potty coin" which altered the Liberty figure to appear to be sitting on a chamber pot? There, now this will take up space in your brain too.
If you want to make the awkward conversation even better, you can open up your coin purse and show them your recently altered nickel collection. Yes! Matt Petitdemange is carving up coins to look like skulls. You know you want one from a special year to carry around in your pocket for good luck (and awkward conversations.) His shop is called
The Hobo Nickel Shop.

These are truly the gift for someone who has everything and wants nothing. You really need to bookmark these. At some point your going to need a gift and this will pop in your head and you won't remember where you saw it. Do it now.
