Washington Gets Title Two-Bit Town for Coin Habits
Washington officials joke that the capital is a two-bit town not in a negative sense. A U S Mint official notes Washingtonians use more quarters than any other area, requiring the Mint to import between 1 and 32 million coins annually. The Mint moves about 5 million coins daily to meet change demands nationwide. Nearby cities show different habits such as Baltimore being a nickel town and Louisville resisting dimes. Buffalo faced a penny shortage, receiving 27 thousand dollars in coppers.

What can defeat me in a near unbeatable bridge contract
South deals and opens one club in a standard three no trump sequence. West leads a club and three tricks are won by defense before diamonds and trumps. The key is for South to cash the ace of spades early and read the hearts, then lead a trump to avoid being stranded with four missing trumps. If spades are cashed first, the contract can be made despite East showing out and West holding four trumps.
