<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 359206, member: 4552"]A long, long time ago kids used to play a game in cities where the concrete sidewalks were made with crack lines between each section. The idea of the game was to flip coins to see how close you could get to the second or third crack line and the closest person won all the coins. This game used every type of coin possible and the results made the coins all look like the edges of that one. Large Copper coins like that stuck more than bounced so were used as much as possible. As to why so clean, it was just cleaned.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
