<p>[QUOTE="Collecting Nut, post: 24491085, member: 74863"]Not sure what you bought but if he shipped a coin in an envelope you may never see it. Either from theft or it was destroyed in a machine. The machine for letter mail is wide and about 2 feet deep. The machines are capable of processing up to 24 letters a minute. And the machine holds between 200 to 250 letters at a time. When something solid in an envelope like a coin, a comb, a nail file, etc. hit the first turn it can shoot out of the envelope like a bullet out of a gun. There are a quarter inch steel plates on each end of the machine that catch these flying objects. You’d be surprised how often does type thing happens. And whatever is in the envelope that comes flying out is destroyed. Hopefully you’ll get it though.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
