"What nonsense is this?"
The nun held the coin in her hand, looking down onto its design. There was a man and woman imprinted on the coin, both bearing grins. Further perplexing were that both figures were holding rather distended middles where there stomachs were.
Mary squinted her eyes. She turned over the coin to see something similar. The man and woman were both still with more than bloated stomachs; both appeared worried and nervous.
"I don't remember getting some..., fetishy trinket like this." said Mary. She was the oldest nun through was about in her early 60's.
