Years ago, when my daughter was attending college at UVA, she sent me a
letter. I think the stamps at the time cost 33 cents. Rather than put a
stamp on the letter, she taped 3 dimes and 3 pennies to it. LOL!

The post office actually sent it on to me and didn't even remove the coins.
The post office ppl probably just got a good laugh out of it. A dumbass
college prank/thing, I suppose.
