<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 131767, member: 4552"]Way, way, way back when I was a kid the apparent distruction of coins seamed like the thing to do. One of the things we all did back then was flipping coins at a line in the side walk. A bunch of kids would stand in a spot and flip a coin to see who is the closest to the second line. The coins, usually pennies, would slowly get dented really bad. We too would put coins on railroad tracks to see what they would look like. Drilliing holes in them to collect the Silver from the drillings, make a combination with lead, melt it all down to make lead soldiers that would shine nice. Then blow them up with filrecrackers or shoot them with a gun. They were thrown in lakes, rivers, ponds, wishing wells and just about anywhere else. Sure wish I could go back and inspect the coins before they were messed up or lost forever.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
