Where did those come from? (Yeah, I know: "Austria")

Well, since you know...

I've been told that they've been in my family for over 150 years.
They supposedly came to America in 1845.
It's a tradition that each first-born son gives them to his first-born son.
I don't know how true the story is, but I'll more than likely die with them, as I'm not planning on any kids.
Lilys on my chest and these coins on my eyes...

Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years

Not counting my trilobite fossil, a large, orange, metal "P" from a "..ARKING GARAGE" that my dad's brother liberated and gave to my dad for his birthday or something when they were at SMU down in Texas in the mid 70's (our last name begins with a P). It is now a family heirloom, passing from each child as he/she enters college. A saying from an old Indian comes with it as it is passed.."There is a time and a place for everything... it's called college."
