<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Wright, post: 7556901, member: 107782&quot;]No picture, but an interesting tale from years ago.&nbsp; When I was a kid (1953) I had already collected coins from change for a few years.&nbsp; When times were fat, I picked out anything &#039;odd&#039;.&nbsp; When times got lean, I spent from my &#039;stash&#039;.&nbsp; One of the lean days I had a few pieces from my &#039;stash&#039; in my pocket when I bought a fountain coke at Walgreens (5c).&nbsp; When I handed the cashier five Indian-head cents, she refused them: &quot;We can only take American money here&quot;.&nbsp; I replied &quot;These *ARE* American.&nbsp; Look here!&nbsp; It says &#039;United States of America&#039;&quot;.&nbsp; She replied &quot;Sorry, I can&#039;t take those&quot;.&nbsp; My reply &quot;But that&#039;s the only money I have&quot; brought a call for her Manager.&nbsp; &quot;This boy is trying to pass these as money.&quot;&nbsp; Her Manager takes a quick glance, snatches them up, and says &quot;You got any more of those, kid?&quot;&nbsp;&nbsp; True story.&nbsp;&nbsp; Finding one of these in-change today, almost seventy years later, is a true feat -- it rarely happened even back then.&nbsp; Congratulations on your lucky find![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
