I started with Cents on the tracks, eventually working my way up to Hot Wheels.   |

It appears to be a relatively low speed derailment. I sincerely hope no one was hurt!
But, if by chance a kid had just put a coin on the tracks, how fast and how far do you think he ran? For extra credit...And what was the color of his pants?

When we were kids we put pennies on RR tracks all the time. Also, back then we had what was called Street Cars that ran on tracks in the streets and pennies were put there also.
We also place them on trees and shot at them with .22 cal guns, pellet guns, BB guns. There was this add for a knife called the Black Forest Hunting Knife that was supposed to be able to go through a coin. I ordered ten of them and tried and tried but usually broke the blades.
We bounced coins off sidewalks, threw them in Rivers, Lakes, wishing wells, fountains. Buried them in places where they were pouring concrete. Put some in bottles and threw in fast moving Rivers and buried some. Many were melted in Chem labs for experiments too.
Some Copper pennies were also brazed to other metal objects for fun. Like the pillars that hold up overhead trains.
Not sure but I think when we were kids we did everything possible to distroy coins.

You sure he didn't see an 09SVDB on the tracks and tried stopping too fast so he could go grab it?

the 1930 Australian Penny that latman100 put on the track... I've seen one that looked like it may have been run over for sale at $8,000. I wonder how many good coins have been lost this way.... |

I believe latman100 put a slabbed coin there. Have anyone else done THAT?
