If I were a coin...

If I were a coin, I would have the opportunity to travel everywhere.

Just imagine if for the first time in my life a rich man put me in his pocket as an amulet and decided to make a trip around the world. First of all I would say, "I'm lucky to be in the hands of such a man. I'm going to fly in a plane and have the experience of flying. I'm going to see lovely places: the beach, museums, the country, pubs, theaters, hotels and so on."

As I'm an amulet, I'm sure he won't give me to someone else, because he is very superstitious and I bring him luck. We love each other, both of us are lucky.

Now, just imagine that one day my owner, due to a mistake, gave me to someone else's hands. What a pity! My lucky days would finish and my troubles would begin. My nomadic life would be stopped, because my new owner's hands would decide to put me in his piggy bank.

The good thing about this topic is that everything happens in the imagination and you can imagine whatever you want.
