I gather them all up at the end of a visit and use them to buy something. It all works... I now have one in my wallet (along with Australian, American and real Canadian currency).

I should be riding the road bicycle daily by this weekend, I'll start with an attempt at a flat 8-9 miles and take it from there. Wednesday is 6 weeks post op, so TKR (total knee replacement) to road bicycle in 6.5 weeks is really substantially better than I had hoped for. I did ride the bicycle yesterday in the 39 x 25 around my neighborhood yesterday for 15-20 mins, no problems. I had elevated the seat 1-2 cm to make the flex less extreme at the peak of the crank rotation, but it really felt ok. I'm on the bike on the trainer 10-25 mins daily until then.

take it easy @LAJ. Don't push too hard if your body tells you "no".
My first weekend out, I think my body yelled "not only no, but hell no" the next few days. I have taken it easier from then on, and have progressed up gradually. Yesterday was 85 miles with a good amount of power, a little elevation, and a decent average speed. (I know. #takeittothe41 ) I felt good on my commute today, so I think it may be a go. Quad pain goes away on the bike, and I actually feel good while on it. It's the walk to the truck from the bike that gets me! There are plenty of bail outs, should I choose to cut it short.

Today is my Saturday. I'm doing laundry, drinking day- at least- old coffee reheated on the stove, and listening to a Slacker Radio station I started with this song.

It's been informally established that whoever does the dishes gets to choose the music the household listens to. I did the dishes today so we've been listening to stuff like this
and there hasn't been so much as a whisper of Lana Del Rey.

Big day. Woke up late. Short passage over to Friday Harbor on San Juan Island. We took a big excursion, walked 2 blocks to the West Marine. Got some ice cream. Now mellowing out with a glass of wine. Dinner at the San Juan Island Yacht Club tonight. Very very mellow day.
And a great tree in town:

Having said that, your body is doing the talking and if you listen carefully, you'll know when to stop.
