Just tell him you can't afford the dentist's fees for crowns and fillings anymore so the next time he needs one you're just going to have to knock the tooth out with a hammer. Then, just to show him you're serious, knock one of the suckers out.
Is that a quarter, CDN? If so, I'm really sorry--that works out to be... umm... about two molecules of pocket lint and a bit of string USD.
You should try spending 50c pieces. There are plenty of places that won't take 'em because they don't think it's real money, and a 50c piece is particularly cruel for a kid who really just wants quarters for the Pac-Man machine.
How often does your son eat such candy? If he eats it on a regular basis, then I can only imagine the look on his face, and concur that it was "priceless." Not being able to eat Tootsie rolls for four or five years with braces on was bad enough, but the rest of one's life is even worse.

If I got 10 bucks from the the tooth fairy everytime I lost a tooth, as a kid, I would have ripped out all my teeth at once!
