The trees in that original cartoon are approximately the diameter of the boys waist. And the lorax climbs out of a tree trunk. So he’s approximately 15 to 20 inches across. Making it logical that his height is slightly more than his width. So I’d agree with the 3 foot estimate. #science
Gold doesn’t need to be stored in plastic, so take them out and feel that gold baby. Black rimmed air-tites look nice for gold coins all right, but careful storage for gold coins doesn’t necessarily mean air tight capsules. So anything you want to put them in will be fine, as long as you remember to handle them with care.
