Hey there coin collectors!
I recently took my trusty time machine back to 1940s Paraguay, hoping to add a few unique coins to my collection or even sell some on eBay. However, things didn’t quite go according to plan.
When I first arrived, I found myself on a narrow street lined with small buildings and the occasional taller structure. It was a far cry from the spacious boulevards and towering skyscrapers of my hometown in Canada. The buildings were weathered, with peeling paint and faded signs. Some of the roads were unpaved, and the air was thick with humidity and the smell of food cooking.
To be honest, I wasn’t a fan of Paraguay. The heat and humidity made it difficult to breathe, and the streets were crowded with people and animals. I had to watch my back, as this was a time of political upheaval and social unrest in the country. I had to be careful not to attract too much attention to myself, or I could risk getting caught up in some dangerous situations.

My plan was to perform a simple street act to attract the attention of passersby and hopefully get them to part with some of their coins. I thought it would be effective because the people of Paraguay were known for their love of music and dance.
I started to play my harmonica, hoping to catch the attention of anyone nearby. I even attempted a few clumsy dance moves to make the performance more interesting. Unfortunately, it didn’t work out as planned. No one seemed interested, and some even looked at me with suspicion.
After a while, I realized that I wasn’t going to get any coins this way. I decided to cut my losses and return to my time machine. As disappointed as I was, I still appreciated the opportunity to experience a different time and place, even if it wasn’t the most pleasant one.
