Potential unwinnable combination with the RNG

I don't know if anyone else brought this up. I haven't found anyone anyways but, after so many years, I think I found an unwinnable combination

If the Lunchbox ends up in the prehistoric period, you need the armor from the medieval period to get past some brambles. This costs one nickle. And also, if the history report ends up in the future, you need to exchange it for a newspaper in the general store of the old west, which also costs one nickle.

here's where the problem sets in. To my knowledge, there are only to nickles in the entire game. one at the very start which you need to open the time portal, so, you can't use it on either. And the other you get for helping Toby the Train and you can only use it on one of the two. So, if you use it for the armor, you'll be unable to get the newspaper and if you get the newspaper, you can't get the armor.

I've yet to test this fully but I have yet to find any way to get a third nickle for this one specific combination. If anyone else has any insight on this, please do let me know.

I believe you can only have one nickel at a time, but if you spend it you can go back and re-oil Toby's wheels to earn another nickel, so you can effectively get as many as you need. I believe you can also use the nickel to buy candy at the general store, but that doesn't do anything besides a short cutscene.

Huh! Never knew about it, which is a bummer because yes, I did have scenarios happen like this. Both sad and so so frustrating ... thank you for letting me know about this!
