A two-step choreographic electric slide boogie hustle that, as Boney M once melodiously put it, is both “crazy like a fool”, and “wild about [sugar] Daddy Cool”!

Typically minted in inexpensive metals, these specialized coins were only redeemable at stores owned by the company that issued them.”

…Interesting twist on that model.
