Brainery pal Ben Feldman is giving a talk at the Museum at Eldridge Street this Sunday, April 15 about an amazing little change purse and the history behind it. Ben's talks are always great and full of fun NYC history tidbits, so I'd definitely recommend this one. And it's free with admission to the Museum, so it won't break the bank, either. 

You can read up on the story of the change purse here, and get more details about the event over on Eldridge Street's site.
