I heard this riddle on the radio today, but then missed the solution.

Caveat: I cannot remember the exact wording. Here are two possible variations:

You will touch this 25 times before you will buy it.
This will be touched 25 times before you buy it.

Now I'm dying to know.

A "dollar roll" contains 25 coins -- so someone will have touched 25 quarters before you buy a dollar roll. That's the best I can do!

Yeah. That's the one I latched onto. No way. I will poll my workmates.

Well, that's disappointing. I was wracking my brains trying to find some significance to 25.
