The story of the man named quarters

A myth submitted to the site by Dj2flo

coinopolis, a different planet

Once in a land far away called coinopolis, there were many people who lived there. These people loved to collect coins from different cultures. Any coins made them happy and they lived in harmony.

One day the man named quarters came bearing many new coins called quarters and dimes and nickels. He told them people he traveled to different dimensions searching for coins, for he collected them and stored them in his "vault". The people of coinopolis were very excited that quarters had arrived, they held banquets and parties in his honor. quarters would hand out his coins to all who asked. He even gave coins to those who could not normally afford them. The only people who did not like quarters were the grumpy old prophets, who spoke of a time when an evil man would arrive and trick the people into thinking he was nice. The prophecy spoke of the man stealing all the coins he could find and storing them in his "vault". Nobody would believe the prophets becuase they were always trying to ruin parties because they were too loud.

Then one day quarters stopped showing up to his own parties. The people began to get worried about him and he wouldnt answer his door to his house. The people began to hold search parties for him. But then as one group found him sitting in a field surrounded by quarters, he started yelling and growing, and a darkness surrounded him. Then he yelled "IM GOING TO BLOW YOU OUT OF THE WATER!!!" and the people were frightened. They all ran back to the city and hid in their houses.

Then quarters turned around and launched coins into the air and they rained down onto the city and caused massive damage. The prophets were right and they were telling the people to hide their coins so quarters wouldnt get them. But it was too late, quarters had already found the coin storage and begin to put them in his "vault". The people tried to fight but he took all the people and put them in his"vault".
