“How many of these are there?”
“I don’t know, a couple hundred.”
“You sure the old lady said she hid money in her stuffed animals?”
“That’s what my cousin’s, friend’s, mother heard her neighbor say.”
“What?! I can’t believe I’m sitting here unstuffing this woman’s creepy collection on hearsay!”
“But it could be true! Besides, I trust my cousin.”
“You lost me at ‘friend’, my friend. The old lady will be back soon. If we don’t find something soon, I’m outa here!
Just then a shiny penny tumbled from a pile of stuffing.
“Really dude?! God!!!!”
“Well, it IS money!”

Could be a 1921 Canadian penny, worth about $50,000. As they’ve already found, things are not always what they seem. 😳
Cute story.

Thats one way to get rid of old stuffed toys. …They used to say that every penny saved adds up, yet if I took a thousand penny’s to the bank they would not be so pleased.
