Cow tools would have amazing collector’s value, though, and you could put the cows to work for the price of hay.

I remember newspaper machines used to have have boxes with the day’s paper. You’d put a few coins in, open the box, and take one paper from the stack. I imagine that was also an available resource for merchandise for re-sale.

I hear people in Argentina are hard-selling socks in the street, too, so the tradition is still alive.
