Message:: [QUOTE="Lawtoad, post: 2402430, member: 31685"]I have misplaced coins over the years. Thankfully nothing rare or high value. Two come to mind as the most irritatingly memorable. One was about 10 yrs ago I got a buffalo nickel back in change. It had the wear and tear of years of circulation, but a nice little gem of a find. I put it in my bottoned shirt pocket "to keep it safe". I finished my errands and went to get it out of my pocket and it was gone. It had escaped at some time during the day. The other was about 5 yrs ago. I received a blank cent planchet back in change. It was very obviously new and I almost did a cartwheel when it finally registered in my head what it was. Sometime in the days that followed I believe it was inadvertently spent or rolled up and deposited in the bank. I at least was able to enjoy both for the brief time they were in my possession. I keeps me looking at my change.  I collect coins and paper money for the joy of it. The unexpected finds are the best part of the hobby.[/QUOTE]
