Long ago while shopping @ farmers’ market (Milpitas, CA) with Maw, we were approached by a white guy with gray hair. He seemed to look at Maw and asked her: ‘What language do you speak’?
Of course, I remembered a quote by ‘Al Bundy’ from the American sitcom, televised show entitled: ‘Married With Children‘. I loved that show and responded with a wide grin:
Why? We speak AMERICAN!
He looked down at his handful of coins and smiled while deciding which ones to hand to us. He handed us this circular-shaped object, probably said something and walked away as we took the our coin with thanks.

Words inside perimeter read as follows:
How shall we excape if we neglect so great a salvation. (Heb 2:3)
Words in the center read as:
Jesus Christ | For God So Love The World That He Gave His Only Begotten Son. That Whosoever Believeth In Him Should Not Perish, But Have Everlasting Life. (John 3:16)
I don’t remember the exact of receiving this coin but it was a sunny and hot day. I do recall another person sitting underneath the tree when we exited with our grocery full of vegetables and that person also appeared to be a old Veteran.
