<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Randy Abercrombie, post: 7916503, member: 92655&quot;]I have one I can contribute and get the extra credit points to boot!</p><p><br /></p><p>I was wee youngster living in El Paso at my grandparents home. They liked to travel across the border to Juarez. Grandma was a shopaholic.... Somewhere along the way she gave me a stack of Mexican peso&#039;s dated 1959. I remembered that because it was my birth year. In my young mind they were the same as a dollar.. Not!</p><p><br /></p><p>Grandma was shopping and I covertly found a vendor that was selling switchblade knives and I just had to have one. Now, keep in mind that a youngster carrying a knife back in those days wasn&#039;t a bad thing.... I was astonished that the little bitty knife transaction used up all the peso&#039;s grandma gave me. My first lesson in foreign currency values.... And the worst part was when we came back across the border they asked to see everything we purchased. I pulled the switchblade knife out of my pocket which was confiscated and caused Grandmas car to have to be searched!</p><p><br /></p><p>Last year [USER=13307]@stldanceartist[/USER] listed some of them for sale here and I grabbed up his 1959 peso&#039;s as a remembrance of grandma and my ill advised switchblade purchase.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1367902[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1367903[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
