<p>[QUOTE=&quot;VistaCruiser69, post: 8204967, member: 107016&quot;]Awesome!&nbsp; My great grandmother used to send me b-day &amp; Christmas cards with coins taped on the inside when I was a very young kid.&nbsp; When I reached about ten years old or so, she sent me the last one with a $2 dollar bill inside.&nbsp; Lots of things we miss of our childhood, receiving cards with coins taped inside from great grandma is one that I miss.&nbsp; I doubt anyone does this now.&nbsp;&nbsp; They mostly just send Starbucks gift cards now.&nbsp; I think the coins in the cards was most popular with the generation that was around during the great depression.&nbsp; A nickel or dime in a card back then meant a nice hot meal.&nbsp; So when I was a little kid in the 70&#039;s, great grandma was sending me a fortune.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Depending on how the coins are taped on, I&#039;ve seen young members post on this forum pictures of coins with remnants of some type of film on it and think it&#039;s a mint error of some sorts.&nbsp; Just imagine what clear tape across those coins would have done to them after 60 or so years?</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>That is an awesome find![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
