“I like to read, play games, build and invent things. I often drive Nickelette crazy at times with my jokes. She’ll laugh even if she doesn’t think they’re funny because she’s my best friend. Together we’re an unbeatable team!”

“I LOVE nickels! I believe that nickels are the most unappreciated coin we have. Think about it. It has more value than a penny, more substance than a dime, and they can add up so FAST! You’ll often find me passing out nickels in the hopes that people will come to appreciate them as much as I do.”
