*laugh* I'm sitting here recalling the time when I was working with an old cat who would have me stop at a music store on the way to the gig and he would purchase 3 medium picks only, for a quarter (US 25 cents).

This was back when a local telephone call from a payphone was ten cents.

One evening I picked the cat up to drive to the gig, and, as usual, he wanted to stop and get those 3 new picks.

I pulled up to the curb, he hopped out of the car, and in almost no time at all he was back.

"Man! They wanted 25 cents for ONE #$%&(!@ PICK!" he said.

"I told 'em, no thanks, I'll just use this here quarter for a pick, and when the gig's over, I'll still have my quarter."

And that is what he did.

From that night on.

Actually sounded better, too.

Flash forward to a different time and place when, from a Guitar Magazine article I found out that Billy Gibbons uses coins for picks...
