AliceC,
Just make sure that coin you're speaking about isn't a "wooden" nickel. lol.
In life, depending upon where and to whom you were born to, and your subsequent upbringing and viewpoints, we all make our decisions in life. Let's face it, life itself is one big decision.
Each decision we make, each choice we make, generally carries with it both some good and some bad. We make our choices, and live with the results. The good. The bad. And the in-between.
Like the man said, "Pick your Poison!"
