What does it mean when I see coins around him?

I was just talking to a friend and in my mind’s eye I saw coins around him, so I asked, “have you been talking to someone about coins?”  He replied, “No. But I put my errant coins in a bag tonight. I’ve been telling myself for about two weeks I need to put all my coins through the machine at Wal-mart.”  Getting impressions is easy.  Learning what they mean is a whole ‘nother thang.
