A Find With A Neat Story

Hi All,

I just had to tell you what just happend.

I'm sitting at home working on a new kind of bookmark when an old friend of mine from grade school called. It seemed that he had this mayonaise jar filled with pennies and asked me if I wanted them.

My comment was "Sure ...been tossin; pennies in a jar uh Dave?" Suprizingly he said no.

He continued to explain, "do you remember when we use to play tossin' pennies before the school passed a rule saying we couldn't.?

Me "Jesus Dave, that was in 1959 when they made us stop us stop doing that..!"

Dave "Well, when we were playing I placed all the pennies I won in a this jar. After we stopped I just saved the jar. I was cleaning out my garage the other day and found them. I remembered you collected pennies and thought you might like to have them."

Me "Sure Dave..I would love them. But why don't you go through them to see if there is anything valuable..?

Dave, "Steve I have had these things for 45 years. I will let you do it. I'm coming to Las Vegas in two weeks and will bring them with me."

Me, " Sounds great Dave. Thanks a lot. It will be fun going through them having known that I gambled some of these away 45 years ago. At least you can let me buy you lunch while your here."

Dave, "Deal..!"


Who said there still wasn't little hidden treasure's laying around. We played tossin' for pennies from around 1956 to 1959 before the school got on our case and banned the game. A quart size jar can hold a lot of pennies. I wonder what's in i?
