Object
Loose Change (Coins)
A small cluster of mixed-denomination metallic coins — cool, clinking, pocket-sized pieces of currency described rather than shown. Characters reference the coins as the sort one fumbles for at a vending machine; no physical coin is handled on-screen. The image of jingling change anchors C.J.'s dry statistic, calming the room as attention shifts from alarm to wry, corrective fact.

Purpose
To serve as small-value currency for vending machines and minor everyday purchases.
Significance
Functions as a rhetorical prop: C.J. invokes loose change and vending-machine incidents to puncture hysteria about wolf attacks, recalibrate tone at a White House reception, and restore authoritative control of the conversation—helping make space for the subsequent emotional exchange between Toby and the President.
