"Gold Coin Question"



Your uncle has a bunch of money in his pocket.
He gives 1/2 of the money in his pocket to your sister.
Then, he gives 1/4 of what's left in his pocket to your brother. 
Then, he gives 1/3 of what's left in his pocket to your friend.
Finally, he gives 1/2 of what's left in his pocket to you.
If your uncle has $3 left, how much was in his pocket in the beginning?
