In my desk drawer, I found a dull forgotten coin left over from a trip. It was dated from another time and place, that is, Hong Kong before the hand-over back to China in 1997.
This 50-cent piece (a Hong Kong half-dollar) used to be worth about six U.S. cents. But now, the coin has a new lease on life as a pendant. Now, it’s really worth something, a nifty memento remade with care and attention.

In San Francisco, just a stone’s throw from the Ferry Building, there are some arts/crafts vendors who do interesting work like this.
