The answer is to collect things like tokens and medallions that CoinStar won't accept, and you'll have the last laugh on the thief!

I saw this in a Buzzfeed article about snappy comebacks to online posts. OP meant to say 10 years, I believe.

Hondo that is the most expensive record setting priced coin in history! Found the actual article, and it is as funny as the title.

https://expressmorning.com/could-th...h-overnight/

The coin shown is a 1999 and not even a real one, the regular sized one, the tiny one is obviously fake. The coin worth $170 million is a 1943 bronze cent, which 19 are known and one sold for $1.7 million in 2010 so it must be worth $170 million now!

The rest of the article beyond the pricing and sensationalistic headlines is actually pretty good.

westcoin, I saw the "article" while scrolling through Google News a few days ago. I figured it was clickbait so kept scrolling, but remembered it. Thanks for satisfying my (and other's) curiosity.
