A Clinking Tower

I spotted a shiny hoard of round coins resting inside a shallow glazed dish! Hee-hee! They jingled together just like cool, metallic pancakes. I tucked my wooden baton under one elbow and went straight to building. With both hands, I dragged a thick copper coin onto the table for a solid base. Plop went a smooth nickel on top, then a ridged quarter! The metal edges made a lovely slick scrape against each other. When the tower reached five levels high, it gave a frightening little wobble! I quickly braced my stick against the leaning side to steady the stack. Whew! My very own gleaming skyscraper!
