At one time in my collecting years I would have loved a stunt like that. Today I don't think ,y eyes could handle the stree. I would have to turn it over to Kyra -- The expert.

That is cute. I guess that the point just didn't reach home though as they agreed to repay the grand, plus adding a grand to a charity.

Well, the page was unavailable when I clicked on the link, but I bet I've got a pretty good idea what it was about. You guys keep threatening to show up at my bank with all these "pennies"- I won't open the door if I see y'all coming!

My local bank just loves me when I buy a few bags of coins to kill a bad weather weekend. I spread them through the community so that the bank doesn't have to recycle them back into their system at one time.

I couldn't read the link either but I can give you my 1¢ (I won't use the "P" word in case someone from CT is lurking around)story.In the early 60's I lived in Windsor Ontario,which as many of you know is just across the river from Detroit. The story was that because many people hoarded them in jars etc.1¢ coins were in short supply so some bank was offering 50 cent peices for 49¢. It sounds like a good story and I never checked it myself. A fact totally unrelated to coins is that Windsor is actually south of Detroit.
