Not even that. Everybody calls and it is a fairly boring game of “Who got dealt the best hand?” rather than of bluff and counter bluff.

I remember that some guy came to home to sell Cutco knives. One of the scripted ploys was to ask someone for a penny-- which would then be sliced oh so easily. Mom, being a thrifty sort, gave the poor guy a Canadian penny-- which doesn’t have the zinc content, and is much tougher to cut…

Too bad they got rid of the thrup’ny bit when they decimalised.
I see two coins on the ground: a quarter and a penny. I’ll pick the quarter up, and the penny only if it’s heads sides up for good luck. I’d probably then give them both to the next homeless person I see since I don’t even need quarters for parking any more.

To be fair the Cutco scissors are tough, I’ve seen a guy do a spiral cut around a quarter and turn it into a corkscrew!

Remember you can also sharpen them and sew them into the brim of your cap/hat for a DIY Oddjob effect.
Sadly a top hat is not very aerodynamic, the bowler really does work better. OTOH, toffs will of course have chaps with bowlers and big sticks to do their fighting for them.
