<p>[QUOTE=&quot;woodyhenderson, post: 1564607, member: 33122&quot;]Coins in my childhood had a tough life.</p><p>Ive seen my dad put them into his pocket along with a pocket knife and a lighter he used for other things but sometimes to&nbsp; start a fire in a wood stove.</p><p>In high school we used coins from our money to buy lunch for a game called throwing to the line.</p><p>Most of&nbsp; the time that line was a brick wall where the coin that got closer to it won the others.</p><p>Often the coins hit the wall more than they missed it.</p><p>Other&nbsp; games were when you fliped a coin into the air letting it fall on an old plank or tiled floor to see who called the way it landed.</p><p>Back&nbsp; then it was called heads or tails. The one that called it right won.</p><p>Ive often wondered where the coins&nbsp; from older years that are posted here come from as most i saw in my childhood were damaged badly and most did not have a date that was readable.</p><p>If you could read a date or the word liberty then you had a coin most of us would would want to win if the guy haveing it would chance loseing it in a game of match.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
