 		Got it.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Two five-letter words, and we're talking about money. And, well, MONEY TALKS.

 		trigrams
I found this site to be helpful:

http://members.aol.com/tig550908/i_hexagramkey.htm

Also, she breaks the hexagrams down into there subcomponent parts of, yes, that would be trigrams of which there are eight. Does it help us to use the trigrams instead? or could the meaning we are looking for come from the names of the trigrams?

In case it is useful, the entire quote from Ben Franklin is:
He that is of the opinion money will do everything may well be suspected of doing everything for money.
-Benjamin Franklin

Take it to the EDOC Laundry site, click on "nothing to hide," and type in the code to reveal a new video clip from Lyn.

It is. Now, we all get to spend the rest of the week trying to figure out how we were *supposed* to solve it.

Now that I've had a chance to get back to it... we were thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis close.

The coins are, indeed, I Ching casts, and whether each represents yin (broken line) or yang (unbroken line) depends on the number of heads/tails in each throw, just as in traditional divination. That's the extent of I Ching's involvement, though; the resulting hexagram is irrelevant.

I'll assume, as ScarpeGrosse suggested, that a coin is "heads" if it shows the face on the left side of the start page -- the one nearest the dragon's head -- and tails if it shows the face nearest the dragon's tail. Convert yin and yang to 1 and 0, respectively. You'll end up with ten six-digit binary numbers, which -- if you add the initial 01 to each -- convert directly to ASCII for MONEY TALKS.

Example: First throw is three heads, one head, two heads, no heads, one head, two heads. This is yang, yang, yin, yin, yang, yin, or 001101. 01001101 is binary for M. Here's a nice binary-to-ASCII table.
