<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sam Stone, post: 4132229, member: 110020&quot;]That really is a good story. As a guitarist, I carried a huge Mexican peso for years that I would use for a pick if I was playing something bluesy or if I needed a &quot;dirty&quot;, hard edge sound. After years of use, I had barely rounded the collar/rim that actually plucked the strings. Billy Gibbons used the same thing. Last year, it helped me get interested in collecting when a coin dealer at a flea market saw it&nbsp; told me it was silver. I traded it for a dollar&#039;s worth of Magic game cards for my son and his friends.</p><p><br /></p><p>Was that a mistake?</p><p><br /></p><p>I still have a few more foreign coins that big and now I use them more often for two reasons. One is my new found appreciation for collecting and the other is they&#039;re just a lot easier to hold on to so they don&#039;t tend to go flying in the middle of Free Bird or Green Grass and High Tides.</p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe I should find out if they&#039;re worth more than a dollar&#039;s worth of game cards before I trade them for something?</p><p><br /></p><p>Your story is better.</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh!! I just got a new fone a month ago and I&#039;ve noticed the spiel czech doesn&#039;t do such a good job. When you see a really bad misspelling, a word that doesn&#039;t fit, or unusually bad grammar you won&#039;t hurt my feelings by saying, &quot;Sam, you goobered again!!&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Wish I had the sense to get a fone with a billion megapixel camera that automatically takes a perfect photo whenever it realizes I have a coin in my hand.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
