Coin Boxes: I'm Thrilled!

They arrived. My "free" coin boxes from Thrill!onaires. They were a requested gift from the founder of the organization sent with the intent to allow me to experience the "thrill" of giving, by giving my pocket change. This well meaning promotion of philanthropy misses the point. If your gift is so small that no one, including you notices that you have given it, you are unlikely to experience a thrill.
