probably an epiphany instead of some smaller solution occurring to someone.
like if the penny drops, you can go "oh dang."
but if the quarter drops, you have to physically sit down and be moved and just mull over some tevelation that's happening.
penny drops:
quarter drops:
Those guys over at the store will nickel and dime ya to death.
If I had a nickel for every time … I’d have a nickel.
I can’t think of one for quarters.
"Dropped nickles on him" - hit with a sock full of nickles
"Quartered them" - to make a pay phone call in the 90s
That makes it sound like pay phone calls in the 90s cost more than an arm and a leg.
Cuz quartering a four legged animal that you have hunted is when you remove its legs.
Don't take any wooden nickels.
And give no quarter to your enemies.
:-)
Dropped quarters: homelessness
Dropped nickels: being 5 minutes late to everything.
I've never heard the expression "drop a dime" before. I've heard turn on a dime, so I assume a dime is physically very small. But that's the only association I have, tbh.
To drop a dime on someone is to snitch.
i dream about quarters in my hand, they're significant but don't do anything
We don't use pennys, nickels, quarters or dimes where I'm from, and aside from the quarter, I have no idea how much value any of them have, so I probably wouldn't give any meaning to it...
