> More coins? Gee, I gave her 4 already. Got leaves with the one and melted some posies with another. One was in leaves. and another was under a rug. Thought there were only 4? Can you tell me (without being a 'spoiler') how many large buildings there are in this game? I counted 4 altogether. Maybe I haven't found them all yet?

The last 2 coins are in the fortress, and you're going to smack yourself when you find them. First find a door that needs a password... then, finding the coin that will buy a password is one step away. (Trust me. You'll smack yourself.)

I also don't see the dollar bill in your inventory. You may want to find that as well before you leave the fortress.
