In the spirit of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, where the Summoner and Manciple carried their change purses filled with silver and coppers, a modern-day purse holds more than just coins. Three coins peek out from an open, spotted purse, while silver spills out of a blue one. A ball, a box of crayons, a jigsaw puzzle of a snail, a small teddy, and even a comic book – all bear price tags, ready to join the collection within. A woman's hand delves into the depths of her change purse, discovering bills and coins, ready for the next adventure.
