In an inventive new video, Claire set out on an ambitious journey to trade a single penny all the way up to enough cash to buy a coffee for Mr. Dabkowski. The rules were simple: all profits had to come from the initial penny, and the goal was to gather enough to buy a coffee at the bakery for Mr. D. What followed was an exciting and unexpected journey filled with creative trades and determination.

Claire began her mission by trading the penny for a bag of Goldfish. From there, she continued to trade up, moving from small items like pens and highlighters to a fun bracelet, which turned out to be worth more than expected. The real breakthrough came when she traded the bracelet for cash, finally reaching her goal.

The process was not without its challenges. There were moments of doubt and unsuccessful trades, but Claire’s perseverance paid off. After a day of trading and a second round the next day, she succeeded in raising enough money for the coffee.

In the end, Claire’s innovative thinking and willingness to trade up turned a humble penny into a meaningful gesture of appreciation for Mr. Dabkowski, proving that with a little creativity and persistence, anything is possible.
