<p>[QUOTE="Stephan77, post: 2270588, member: 74244"]Alright, since joining this forum and reading the posts, you little bastiges got me looking at the Coin Star machine return slot when walking out near the supermarket door with my groceries. For months it was a total waste of my eye movement time, glancing at it, as it was always empty. Then today, I do my shopping, I'm walking out with the cart with my groceries, giving the return slot the usual waste of time glance, and dam if I don't see some non-copper coins in there. At warp speed, perhaps the fastest one yard dash in human history, I leaped over there, placed my grubby hand in the return slot, could have been a black widow spider in there for all I cared, fished around the slot a bit for about a half second, grabbed everything in there, and shoved the booty into my pants pocket without looking at it. I thought it was two quarters, and on the way home I must admit that it was a cheap thrill thinking about what it might be. I was hoping for two silver quarters. I got home, unloaded all the groceries, and then pulled the coins out of my pants pocket to inspect the treasure.</p><p><br /></p><p>Turns out it was two Canadian quarters, 1973 and 1979, average circulated condition. Oh well, not much, but I'll have to admit that it was fun. And yes, I will keep on glancing - LOL[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
