No "Guess the verb" here.  I assume you have a lot of dimes (which can get
you around on the subway) and a nickel (which can get you many nifty items
from the bar), but you just can't live without forks, knives, and spoons
(i.e. the flatware, which is the only thing you'll but for $1.01).

Get my drift?
