The main character in the book Parrot in the Oven is Manny Hernandez. Since his Dad considers people were like money. You could be a thousand-dollar person or a hundred-dollor person - even a ten-, five-, or one-dollar person. Below that everyone was just nickels and dimes. To Manny's Dad, they were pennies. So that's why Manny wanted to be worth more than just a little bitty penny.
