Eleven countries bordering the Indian Ocean—all relatively poor and vulnerable—suffered devastation. Hardest hit were Indonesia (particularly the province of Aceh), Sri Lanka, India, Thailand, and the Maldives. The catastrophic damage included the destruction of entire cities, the contamination of farmland and forests, and the depletion of fishing stocks. Some areas faced starvation and increased suseptibility to disease. Even countries with relatively low death tolls suffered enormous damage—the Maldives, for example, had less than 100 deaths, yet the tsunami left 14 of the archipelago’s islands uninhabitable, requiring its inhabitants to be permanently evacuated, and another 79 islands without safe drinking water....

Value The Cheerios Penny is one of the more unusual cereal-box prizes in recent memory and probably would have been forgotten had the Cheerios Dollars not been discovered to be so rare. The reason these coins are noteworthy today is that the so-called Cheerios Dollars were struck from different dies than normal Sacagawea Dollars, making them a very rare variety. The average Cheerios Penny which is still on its card is worth about $5 on eBay (a 2000 Lincoln Cent that is not on the sealed Cheerios card is only worth face value)....
Timing is also important. Since introducing a new animal is stressful to the residents, it makes sense not to do it at a time when they are already under stress-when they have just moved to a new house or apartment, for instance, or when one is recovering from an illness or injury.
