<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ksmooter61, post: 26433546, member: 169607&quot;]Hey J-man, just having some fun here. I believe acid exists, not a flat-earther. But I would like a clearer picture of your example, maybe something like this?</p><p><br /></p><p>circa summer of 1983 - In a small Wisconsin factory producing steel manhole covers for the city of Sheboygan, there is a worker drinking a cup of joe, while strolling along a catwalk suspended over a vat of sulfuric acid. Needing a pen to stir the creamer in his coffee, he reaches quickly into his shirt pocket to grab one (properly separated from his button-up shirt with a custom pocket protector of course), and in so doing a dime dislodges itself from within his pants pocket, plunging down into the vile liquid. Many months later, the vat is drained, and the dregs are set aside and given to visiting school children on a field trip as souvenirs. The wayward dime, along with a golf ball-marker, several paperclips and an electrical panel knock-out end up in the possession of Suzy-Lou, who places it lovingly into her pink piggy bank. </p><p><br /></p><p>Flash forward 40 years to the front range north of Denver. Suzy-Lou, twice divorced and living in a one-bedroom apartment, is a telemarketer working from home, and has a sudden urge for a cup of coffee. Unfortunately, work has been slow of late, and without any funds she is forced to break open the precious piggy. Grabbing a handful of shiny coins, she races to the local grocery store and dumps them gleefully into the welcoming CoinStar machine, which robs her of 18% and prints out a coupon for just enough to buy that delicious hot steaming cup of scrumptiousness.</p><p><br /></p><p>Later that week, Loomis relieves the big green money machine of its loot, and the much-travelled dime is sorted, counted, stacked and rolled, and delivered to the local Big-Named-Bank, where a diligent Coin Roll Hunter purchases it and discovers its wonder.</p><p><br /></p><p>But here is the real conundrum. How the heck did a dime minted in Denver find its way to Wisconsin <i>in the same year</i>? Some things just bely belief.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
