If one of my coins could talk, it would tell the story of its travel and adventures from when it was first minted from the silver mines at Potosi to life aboard a Spanish galleon. It would tell about how it was stored in a chest with his brothers and sisters and exchanged for goods and services at various ports of call. It made its way to markets, taverns, and banks. It met thieves and sailors, merchants, and captains. It would describe his journey from the Americas to Spain, along the East Coast of what would become the U.S., to Africa and the Far East. He constantly traded hands and was stored in all manner of cabinets, purses, pockets, sewn into clothing and buried in bags beneath the ground. The coin would have much to tell about what he saw, where he traveled, and the life he lead.

如果我的一枚硬幣可以說話，它將講述其旅行和冒險經歷的故事，從它首次從波托西的銀礦鑄造到西班牙盛宴上的生活。它將講述它是如何與他的兄弟姐妹一起存放在箱子裡的，並在各個呼叫港口交換商品和服務。它進入了市場，小酒館和銀行。它遇到了小偷，水手，商人和船長。它將描述他從美洲到西班牙的旅程，沿著將成為美國，非洲和遠東的東海岸。他不斷交易手，並以各種櫥櫃，錢包，口袋，縫在衣服上，埋在地面下的袋子裡。硬幣將有很多東西可以說明他所看到的，旅行的地方以及他過的生活。

I was minted in 1862 in Philadelphia. During some of the financial transactions of the construction of my house in Iowa during the Civil War, I was found to be just the right size shim to be used behind the mirror above the fireplace mantle. Many Christmas celebrations and family gatherings have taken place over the years. Then, in September of 2007, someone adjusted the mirror, and I rolled out to the wonder and awe of my new family.

我於1862年在費城被鑄造。在內戰期間，我在愛荷華州房屋建造的一些金融交易中，發現我是適合的墊片，可用於壁爐壁爐上方的鏡子後面。這些年來，許多聖誕節慶祝活動和家庭聚會進行了。然後，在2007年9月，有人調整了鏡子，我對新家庭的奇妙和敬畏之情。

You swallowed me when you were three!

你三歲的時候就吞下了我！

My sister and my mom had the mumps when I was three. So, I went to stay with my grandparents. Grandpa collected coins; somehow, I swallowed a penny. The hospital was called, and breathing was not restricted. Doc told Grandma to watch my diaper for the next few days. Grandpa kept that penny with a picture of me until he passed when I was 21. Then the picture was passed on to my father, where it sat on his desk until his passing 2 years ago. It's my turn to treasure it now.

我姐姐和媽媽三歲的時候有腮腺炎。所以，我去和祖父母在一起。爺爺收集了硬幣；不知何故，我吞下了一分錢。該醫院被打電話給醫院，呼吸不受限制。 Doc告訴奶奶在接下來的幾天裡看我的尿布。爺爺把一分錢留著我的照片，直到他21歲那年去世。現在輪到我珍惜它了。
