[QUOTE="YJokerY, post: 1466533, member: 38663"]Hello all, My name is Travis and one day when I was trying to buy a drink from a machine it would not take my quarter.

I have 5 Pics Q1 is the face you can see how the letters are bigger and not as detailed. Q2 is the back and it's much like the face. Q3 is the edge and you can see how it does not have slits in it. Q4 is a different angle to see the slits are not there and the border it thick. Q5 is a side view that shows how messed up the side looks. Also the messed up quarter is a tad smaller then the other one.[/QUOTE]
