In our mail today was a letter from a charity requesting a donation. Included was our "gift" of address labels. But there was also a nickel along with the statement, "This nickel could save a child's life."
So why the hell are they sending it to me?
Not only are they mailing cash to me unsolicited, but they probably had to pay more postage to do it.

There's more than one charity out there that sends you a nickel. I have received them from at least three different charities. It's quite a quandry as to what to do with them. Seems dumb to toss it in the garbage, and I hate to keep it knowing I will not be making a donation to this charity, and I don't think I should have to pay for the postage to return it. Most of the time I let them sit on the table unopened for a long time. When I finally get around to dusting I usually end up opening the envelope to remove the nickel before I throw it away. I put it in a container of coins that I will donate to the poor during lent.
