<p>[QUOTE=&quot;VACookey, post: 1163509, member: 29547&quot;]Yep, that was Dear John but it wasn&#039;t the father who found the mule. It was John. He got it in change from the ice cream truck. They took it to a shop to see what it was and the guy said it was nothing, he&#039;d take it off their hands for some ridiculously low price. John&#039;s father, not knowing what it was but not wanting to part with it, said no thanks and kept it. He spent the rest of his life collecting coins. He was autistic and coin collecting gave him something to focus on. After he passed on, John sold his entire collection to a reputable dealer (a guy who had told him the true worth of the coin) but John kept that one coin he had found as a child because it was the most important to him.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I&#039;m not one for sappy movies, but Dear John brought me to tears in so many places. That it had coin collecting as an integral part of the story was a cool bonus.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
