    Hello everyone,

    My mom works as a Spanish teacher in a local high school where I live. Yesterday they were cleaning out the history teachers break room for the end of the year. At the bottom of a box full of used textbooks, they found a smashed glass bowl with some foreign coins in it.

    Most of the history teachers that had me when I was in high school knew I collected coins, so they offered it to my mom.

    Here's the lot. It's mostly modern foreigns and bills, but there was an MS 1980 Mexico Trade dollar hidden in there. Has some stuff on it so I'll probably get to dipping it soon.

    I live under the stage in the cafeteria. Went in there in my freshman year as part of a prank and have been stuck for six years now. No getting out now so I might as well live with it.

    Well, you must be comfortably stuck or you would have left years ago. Unique arrangement, good on you! :D

    Man, I wish they'd let me hide under the stage for my high school years.

    Definitely will! Thanks.
    You know, the rent sounds really good until you see what the neighbors are like...
    Thank you, I definitely will, though my guess is that some teacher 10 years ago left it in a box and forgot.
    You can move in with me.
