[QUOTE="charley, post: 7964037, member: 5372"]Of course not. There were no tuxedos. Decades is not Centuries. People are naturally curious. If an old tin is in the Study, and has been there the entire time I was growing up, and nobody knows what is in it, let alone notice it is there, I am pretty sure I am going to pop that sucker. Tax laws change. What was a disadvantage can become an advantage, with the right background story. I don't have an opinion concerning the coins, and did not and do not question same. I have an opinion concerning human nature. A slight example, provided via your own post. YOU knew that your relative had a box of coins for..... Decades. This guy doesn't know nuttin' about nuttin' about neat stuff in a little box in plain view in the Castle of Mysteries? A kid would have been all over that, looking for the next bug to be pinned to a piece of card board, and I suspect, but can't prove, that even the Brits had kids running around the Castle during those 400 years, because you can bet somewhere along the line, Uncle Biff boinked Aunt Buffy. Truth in editing: changed second "Decades" to "Centuries".[/QUOTE]
