<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jimmiejam, post: 15700, member: 1147&quot;]I have found many holed old coins while metal detecting.&nbsp; Have heard that way back some would hole their coins and put them on a string for safe keeping?&nbsp; Just what I have heard over the years.&nbsp; Did they have pockets in their pants back in the day?&nbsp; &nbsp; That would maybe help explain why the holes are found just about anywhere on the coin.&nbsp; I hate it when I find a holed coin and its right thru the last numbers of the date!!&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I have even found one that has holes exactly in the shape that a button on a coat would be.&nbsp; 4 square little holes.&nbsp; &nbsp; All I know is they used to put holes in coins back in the day, how or for what reasons are all up for speculation.&nbsp;&nbsp; Fun stuff.&nbsp; &nbsp; Cool coin by the way.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
