Here are some more terrible numismatic jokes for your amusement: There is one thing special about Franklin half dollar collectors who also like Metallica. What is that? They are whom the bell tolls. My grandmothers were born in 1938 and 1941, living through WWII. To this day, they will never steel a penny. I googled why 1944-46 cents are called "shell case cents". Turns out, this is an open war crime case! I had the aluminum washer of an encased penny screaming at me one day, so I took her to the hospital. I should've known that I'd be left to raise her penny. And, finally: What does "Weird Al" Yankovic have in common with a 1796 "LIHERTY" large cent? What? They've both been victims of word crimes. Part 4 might be out..... some time in the future!
I only have one numismatic joke and I stole that one from my dad. Everytime we would drive past a construction site where they were digging around with their huge earth moving machines, he would say, "Oh no! A Dutchman must have lost a nickel there!" (Ane yes Dad was Dutch) James
My coin joke is, The Canadian Toonie ($2 dollar coin), it is the only coin to show the Queens bare(bear) behind on the coins reverse.
My pleasure! This is just a tiny bit of the weird ideas in my head. I struck again! I'm glad I warned you! LOL, you can see what fills my head by looking at these jokes, and I probably have more stashed somewhere. Not sure what that joke means, but it is kinda funny! Your dad must've understood it better since he was Dutch. Legend has it the paparazzi are still gagging to this day.
@KBBPLL. Ironically my mother was Bohemian (As in born in the old country and moved here). Grew up in a place in Michigan called Little Bohemia. @The Half Dime . The joke is about how stingy the Dutch are suppose to be. Phrase "Dutch Treat" means everybody has to pay for their own stuff. My dad was just joking to what extremes a Dutchman might go to just to get back a lost nickel. James
Grandpa was first generation. I suppose everyone from the "old country" was frugal back then. My favorite Bohemian joke was visual. Stand and jump, while gazing off into the distance. "What's this?" Answer - "A Bohemian looking out his living room window." Apparently they would rent out the nicer upstairs and live in the basement. Or so I was told.
