   **We're in the final stretch of our fundraiser, and we have a special contest for you!** Background: On Nov 11, 2018 a plane landed in Boston. On board, one of the passengers was Craig Topham, because the next day he would start a new job as the copyright and licensing associate for the FSF. Besides beginning to know the "T" and learning other Boston area eccentricities, he started collecting coins he would find on the ground. A penny here. A dime there. 1/2
