What's Your Best Classic Coin Joke?

Wow all these jokes...lol

I figured out the "quarter" one -- it's a quarter eagle. The other two (4 for a nickel, and $6 note) I'm still stumped on.

I thought I was the only one that didn't get the "4 for a nickel" one...

After a little more googling, I came up with "fish scales" as a nickname for 3-cent silver, and "nickel cent" as a nickname for Indian Head cents.

So a dime (10¢) would give the candy (1¢), two 3¢ pieces, and three 1¢ pieces. Am I right?

Here's a corny one- Where do coins from the late 1800s-early 1900s get their hair cut?

the barber shop

Yup.

Older than I am but still funny albeit a Shaggy Dog in nature:


A local pawn shop owner named Steve & his buddy Bob used to do a brisk side business in coin dealing.

One day, a young kid walks in with a coin in his hand.

"Hey mister, is this old coin worth anything?"

Steve looks at the kid's coin, and to his surprise, finds himself holding a genuine high grade 1909 S-VDB Wheatie.

"Son," said Steve, "This coin is special, and you should always keep it with you."

"Gee, thanks!", said the boy, and off he went.

A couple of days later, Bob is on the counter, and another neighborhood kid walks in with a coin.

"Hey mister," said the second kid, "is this old coin worth anything?"

Bob looks at the coin, and now it's his turn to be surprised: the kid brought him an almost-uncirculated 1877 Indian Head cent!

"That coin's special," said Bob, "and you need to put it in a safe place where no one can steal it."

"Awesome!", said the second boy, and off he went to join his friend.

Two weeks later, Bob & Steve made to stop by the local burger joint for a burger & fries, and sure enough, the two coin-collecting kids from the neighborhood are at the soda fountain enjoying a pair of Cokes.

"Hey, kids," said Steve, "what happened to those coins you showed me & Bob the other day?"

The first kid replied, "You said to keep it with me all the time, so I drilled a hole through it and put it on this piece of string so I can wear it around my neck!"

"Okay, what about the one you showed me?", asked Bob.

The second kid replied, "Well, you told me to put it in a safe place, so I buried it in the middle of some farmer's corn field a couple of miles from here. I didn't mark it so no one will ever find it!"

Having just finished their two Cokes, the two boys ran off to get into more mischief, leaving a stunned Steve and a very dejected Bob to ponder the inherent unfairness of the world at large.

"You know what the problem is, right, Bob?", asked Steve.

"Yeah? What is it, Steve?"

"Kids these days just don't have any common cents anymore!"
