???Kid with a marker??

Today I learned the word errant.

That's a conclusion I didn't want to draw. I also think if that's so it's not just to say the silver collector was marking all the others so he would recognise him searching it, but also that it would be deliberately done to mark up coins so they would be valueless to others. I am currently marking my rolls with placing numbers or letters on the outside of the rolls (paper), if I roll them (and not in coin machine). I did end up re-searching 140 worth of halves this week as I took them to the bank before I did this, and when the clerk asked if I wanted them and I asked if they were the same ones I had brought in, he said no that another customer (male) had done so. I will charitably think he's confused on that as opposed to having me redo them, but in the future I should be able to spot my rolls (assuming someone doesn't have them and end up putting other coins in there). I recognised a half with a hole in it as well as one that had marker on it.

 

wash it off so the guy cannot be sure if he has already searched them. :devil:

 

it certainly has not changed in respect of symbolism, the swastika is a symbol used in the buddhist religion and has been for a couple of thousand years..........................you will find it in this link

The Swastika is a well-know good-luck symbol from India. Unfortunately, it is too well known in the west, as the Nazis chose it as their main symbol. In Sanskrit, swastika means "conducive to well-being". In the Buddhist tradition, the swastika symbolizes the feet or footprints of the Buddha and is often used to mark the beginning of texts. Modern Tibetan Buddhism uses it as a clothing decoration. With the spread of Buddhism, it has passed into the iconography of China and Japan where it has been used to denote plurality, abundance, prosperity and long life.
(In India, Hindus use the swastika to mark the opening pages of account books, thresholds, doors, and offerings, the right-hand swastika is a solar symbol and the left-hand version represents Kali and magic. Among the Jains it is the emblem of their seventh Tirthankara. Other uses of the symbol: in ancient Mesopotamia it was a favourite symbol on coinage, In Scandinavia it was the symbol for the god Thor's hammer. In early Christian art it was called the gammadion cross because it was made of four gammas. It is also found in Mayan and Navajo art.)

 

Roll searching rule #35: You don't dump at and buy from the same bank.

 

Why dont we set up a survey/random questionarre. We interview random people off the street in places such as New York City, London U.K., Munich Germany, and maybe a few other major cities.

Question: What do you think is the meaning of the swastika??

Question 2: Would you use a swastika in your everyday life?

Question 3: Are you offended by the use of the swastika?

Now you might come back at the previous as "Well those people are wrong" but think about it.... Are they really wrong? The swastika changed with the third reich and Hitler. It became a symbol for the "National Socialist" and what they stood for. What did they stand for? The belief of their superiority to other cultures, religions, and race.

Once again it offends me, that is my opinion you don't have to agree with it.

 

You better wait outside the bank with some of those marked rolls wrapped in a sock. So you can let him know that it's YOUR bank and that you mean buisness ... ;o9

 

Good point. Symbolism changes over time, just like language and customs. Words which our fathers used daily would now get you fired. The US Government once had a program called "Operation Wetback" aimed at deporting illegal immigrants. They clearly saw nothing wrong with the term 60 years ago, but I doubt we will be seeing "Wetback II" any time soon. Similarly, what was once a socially accepted norm, having a quiet smoke, now puts you right up there with rapists and paedophiles.

Times change. If as a result of that change people are offended then does it really cost that much to humor them?

For my part I'm not easily offended by much so I don't understand the fuss. I just go about life in my non-pc way trying to treat others as I would like to be treated.
