Tom hurried back. "I got a nickel," he called. "I got a nickel. On’y got to do that there twenty times for a dollar."
– John Steinbeck
The Grapes of Wrath, Chapter 26. The Joads battle to survive by working on a California fruit farm. They earn a nickel picking a box of peaches. The family only has to do this twenty times over to make a dollar, Tom says. Their first box is rejected by the checker at the checking station because the fruit is bruised.
