In the Medieval Society for Creative Anachronists, my daugher brought home a silver Jefferson cup that was passed around during bardic circle at one of the many events she attended. The cup was passed around and filled while everyone took turns singing. After there was some kind of vote (I suppose) to determine who would take the cup. I am not certain, but I think that is how it went.

I remember the cup she brought home was filled with mostly coin. But there was some paper money, beads, tokens, jewlery, coupon, elastic band, used bandage, button, paperclip, pen cap, unused wooden matchstick, plastic spider ring, bobby pin, peanut.

We could start passing a tankard. It holds loads more than a little jefferson cup. I have loads of beads and some very interesting buttons.
