I was driving to work this morning and listening to WTOP (Washington, DC). Each Monday they have a piece called "Knuckleheads in the News". They read three (3) stories about people doing stupid things...like calling 911 because someone cheated them on a drug deal! :too-cool-for:...and listeners call in and vote for the biggest Knucklehead. This morning I forgot the other two stories because the last one was too amazing...:rolling: http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/sidesho...0k-coin-collection-then-spends-214047054.html
That one would sure be difficult to top on "Knuckleheads in the News." It's not really that he didn't know the value of the coins that gets me, it's the fact that these coins are not normally seen in circulation. Wouldn't he question what they were? I would think that would raise a red flag for the guy when he is about to spend them!
I read this same story the other day. Stupidity in it's purest form IMO. There's a fellow collector at work, and I took in a 1929 national in to show him. Others saw it thought it was fake and some couldn't accept it was ever real. Kind of amusing.
