A shortish coincidence example or story from Penny:
"I was born in 1962 and today as I was walking to do some shopping I stopped to pick up an old penny that was laying on the pavement. I noticed that the year of the penny was 1962 and I'm called Penny!
I was standing still while looking at the coin as a neighbour walked past me and said, 'A penny for your thoughts,' which was about right."

Which reminds me of that old saying -
"Life's a gamble."
How true ?
Never played it. Though I can remember as a kid men standing in a field playing - I think it was called - Pitch and Toss. That was about tossing coins and seeing how and where they fell. I told my mother and she said how stupid the men were as some lost their wages in this way.
