Reasonably good. Makes more sense than most of the situation teasers posted here.
I agree. Great job making sense!
Did I miss something? Does it have to be only Lincoln (penny)? The "Man" could be any face on a coin!
Jefferson - nickel
Roosevelt - dime
Washington - quarter
etc.

this teaser is not universal, that means only Americans could answer the teaser.
No. I thought about that after I made the teaser, that it could be any coin. True, it is not universal, but usually countries have coins with figures on them as currency. If a person not from america read this to their friends, it could easily be adapted, I would think.
I didn't get it because I am English and we have our Queen on all coins so not a man.
Well, situation teasers are meant to tell to friends, so just say a woman or something like that instead of man.
Nice teaser. Loved it.
I'm not from America! Good Teaser, though
