Fork Money

By now you should have discovered at least to some degree, the in-depth world that surrounds Forks. Forks, as many of you may know, are part of a group of dining utensils. The other two common utensils are of course spoons and knives. Now there are variations of each of these utensils such as a soup spoon, a butter knife, and the spork. I however do not recognize the spork as utensil and apparently neither does spell-check. It is the small bastard son of Forks everywhere that needs to be cast out of this community. 

Ahem...I digress.

But all of these utensils also share another common name to refer to the group as a whole. Silverware. This of course references some specialty flatware that can be made of silver or silver plated. 

That brings me to my next point. Silver! Measured in troy ounces and current market value stumbling vaguely around $40 a troy ounce, is a precious metal of sorts that is used in all sorts of applications. Coins for example. Quarters and Half dollars are the most common known coins for containing silver. This of course stopped being the case in 1964. 

This however is not a history lesson, nor a coin lesson, nor a history of coin lesson. This is simply the connection that my brain followed step-by-step between Forks and Quarters and how they could be related.

So consequently, this video is indirectly related to Forks!
