Gifts for the kids
Sir Edward:
Yeah, Ive heard people talk about using the gold dollars to pay for their faire expenses. It's a nice way to feel more period. The only difficulty is that a dollar doesn't go as far as a period coin would, so you have to carry a bunch of them. :)
As for gifting the kids with them... ugh... Apparently concerns have been raised about it being... well... concerning that "those knights" at MDRF are giving things to kids. I mean really... really? People are worried about knights bending down to speak kindly and give a coin to a child, with the parent's supervision? We've been asked to tone it down.
I think some faire-goers just aren't happy unless they're complaining about something.
Sir Wolf:
you know a member of my church is a member of ummm crud i can't remember what order of knights it is... anyways, every Sunday before church he's a greeter and gives kids a brand new gold dollar. there' super happy about it. he told me it meant nothing it was just a way he knew to make kids happy hehehhe.

That sounds like someone looking to sue for something...I really, really dislike people w/that mindset. I remember this girl I dated had a minor fender bender and she wanted to go to court because her brother had done so and got a $5k award for pain and suffering...I wanted to take him out back and teach him a freakin lesson in pain and suffering. WTH? He didn't need that money, his car's damage was less than a grand. She was an idiot too, no wonder I dumped her. lol
Sir Edward:
Yeah, I really hate that attitude. The "let's see what I can get away with" sort of me-me-me mentality. It's sickening.
Sir William:
Yea; and I have little patience for people of that sort. Those very same people would consider the thought alien of actually helping someone else out just for the good it would do.
