When my Mom had to go into a home she insisted on taking her jar of coins and some paper money with her. It was her stash for laundry in her old place and she felt she needed it with her in case she wanted to get something out of a vending machine. Well, only a few days later there were only a few coins left in the jar in her bedside table drawer. Mom said it just disappeared. We will never know what happened and who had sticky fingers.
