A kid and mom's coin purse if dad's pants pocket don't jingle enough, and of the two wishing wells in Hilo town of the 50s, one's a fountain and the other is actually a Japanese Tea Garden and the Japanese Koi fish shares the pond with the tossed coins. Aloha William

Nice poem. It is hard to find pennies and dimes. Now you need a quarter.
