How much money did the "Tooth Fairy" leave underneath your pillow as a kid?

My dad played a joke on me. I put my tooth under the pillow expecting big bucks the next day. I awoke the next morning and threw my pillow aside only to find a penny that was sliced in two. My father had cut a penny in half and laughed when I brought it into the living room with a confused look. He later gave me five dollars that the tooth fairy had misplaced. LOL. Good old dad.
