The phrase, "turn up like a bad penny," means to show up at places or events where you're not wanted. Often you'll say that somebody "keeps turning up like a bad penny" if you keep seeing them places where you hoped to avoid them.EroGaki said:I don't get "Bad Penny."

Or to be slightly more subtle the dagger always returns, even when it's just put away, discarded, traded, or lost. At some point, you just find in your pack, your boot, or in that sheath down your back. Naturally, it always seems to happen at the most inconvenient time. Like when the merchant and 20 guards are pounding on your door, demanding to search the premises for the dagger you sold him; or right before they frisk you before your audience with a paranoid king.Andor said:A curse for a dagger named "Bad penny?" That's easy. Any coin you touch turns into a copper piece. A counterfeit copper piece.
