I found a handful of coins and a DINKY

[awhitster]

In the we call them Hotwheels but I just like the word DINKY that our foreign friends on here call them. I scrounged up this mess at a couple tot lots. 31 coins for a whopping $1.81.

Actually, the tem DINK TOYS was originally from England, became a generic term for small metalic cars and trucks, and lost it's generic influence when "HOTWHEEL" hit the market.
