sicko-wistful

these were given to me by one of my elementary school teachers. they are really tiny, about 1/3 the size of a dollar

i also have some south vietmanese currency apparently! i think those were given to me by my mom.

i used to collect lots of coins + bills as a kid just found my stash while cleaning
