Two Cents Worth

We have a coin press in town now, too. It´s the Otto IV. - The Kaiserjahr 2009 (Emperor Otto) and so there is a new focus, other than City of Science 2007 (yips I truly love this town!).

Now, I certainly wanted such a coin, and Ingo, too! Make one costs 1 euro - and 2 cents, that´s where the Lion will be on. We both had a euro. 1 cent-coins, 5 cent-coins... no 2 cent-coins!!!

So we went to the Tourist Information right around the corner to get a change - and I found that very cute sticker shown above!

I will get a new company car in Feburary and there he will go!
(you can click to enlarge - it´s worth it, he´s got a great face! Does he look shy? Proud? Protective ? I dunno!)

I paid the sticker and asked for the change in 2 two-cents-coins.

Guess what?

When we came back... there lay 2 two-cents-coins!!!

They didn´t before! Did someone see us? Thinking maybe, gosh, maybe that happens more often and people go away because they lack coins of two cent??

We took the coins and left ours :-)





I just love "my" town! :-)
