[QUOTE="Skyman, post: 6528633, member: 28299"]Yeah, a corned beef sandwich aboard Gemini 3. Unauthorized coins have most likely been stowed aboard all sorts of spacecraft. They got put into the spacecraft by the workers who worked on the spacecraft. One would assume they got taken out when the craft was "safed" after the landing, e.g. any remaining liquids taken out, systems shut down etc. etc. Liberty Bell 7 (which sank after splashdown) was recovered from the ocean bottom 35ish years after it sank.
