    just a little fun thought i would post some coin jokes i found around the web.


    COIN TOSS

    A father walks into the market followed by his ten-year-old son. The kid
    is spinning a 25 cent piece in the air and catching it between his teeth.

    As they walk through the market someone bumps into the boy at just the
    wrong moment and the coin goes straight into his mouth and lodges in his
    throat. He immediately starts choking and going blue in the face and his
    Dad starts panicking, shouting and screaming for help.

    A middle-aged, fairly unnoticeable man in a gray suit is sitting at a
    coffee bar in the market reading his newspaper and sipping a cup of
    coffee.

    At the sound of the commotion he looks up, puts his coffee cup down on the
    saucer, neatly folds his newspaper and places it on the counter. He gets
    up from his seat and makes his unhurried way across the market.

    Got to hand it to you Jimmy. You like pushing buttons, don't you?

    One day on the way home from work, I stopped at the local Pharmacy and while I was checking out, I picked up some candy to take home for me and my 7-year old son. It was a bag of Gold Coins (Gold Foil-covered chocolate candy coins). There were many sizes, from dime to dollar. I took the bag home, and me and my son opened the bag and ate all of the coins, my son taking the bigger dollar-sized ones and me taking the smaller ones.

    I think that one's straight out of the sixth grade. Pretty childish.

    A Cork man and a Kerry man heard that the streets of Blackpool were paved with gold, so they set out across the water to make their fortune. Stepping outside Squire's Gate Airport, Kerry man saw a gold sovereign lying on the pavement, bending to pick it up he said to Cork man "Would you look at that, we'll be making our fortune in no time at all!".
    Cork man stops him from picking it up saying "Leave it there for now, we can always start work tomorrow morning!"

    A tramp walked into an upmarket jewellers and stood there scratching his backside. The manager approached him and asked him what he thought he was doing. The tramp pointed out the sign in the window, saying "Come inside and pick your ring in comfort".

    There's a traveling salesman, on one fine day he stops by a large retail chain to peddle his wares. To his surprise the chain buys everything he has to offer. He then returns with to his head office with the store's cheque in hand, he receives a very large commission cheque. Now it seems that his lifelong dream to finish his mint-state Mercury dime collection can be realized. The next week he is traveling through a small town with only a single coin dealer, he goes into the shop and asks if the owner has a 1916D Mercury dime. The shop keeper does have one (and only one). He goes into the back while the salesman is looking around and gets from the safe a spectacular, toned 1916D. He shows the gem of a coin to the salesman, the sun coming in through the window radiates all the colors of the rainbow off the coin, the salesman is impressed. He asks the proprietor of the shop if he might have one that is not toned. The owner says he has another one in the back. He takes the coin from the salesman and slips into the back of the store and takes out his coin dip and dips the coin. It is now quite a nice blazing white BU. He brings this out to show the salesman. The salesman really likes the coin and mentions that he has had a good week lately and says "Great, I'll take both of them."

    A child swallowed an halfcrown, he was rushed to the hospital but they decided the only thing to do was to let nature run it's course, the mother phoned the hospital to see how things were going. The reply to her was, 'there's still no change'.

    Thought the first one was going to be a lawyer joke.
