awildeheart Valued Member Australia 295 Posts	Posted 04/19/2012 10:01 am I worked in a road house cafe for a while a few years ago and saw some badly damaged coins (maybe not quite so bad as this one) handed over by truck drivers. Truckies often throw coins in their truck ashtray or into many other unsavoury places within their cabin, or use them for any number of short stop measures while on the road. Looks like this one could have been used to fill a gap on a loose/broken battery terminal. Report this Post to the Staff
awildeheart Valued Member Australia 295 Posts	Posted 04/19/2012 10:07 am ... Just joking about being used on the battery terminal. But it is still probable that it came into contact with any number of corrosive agents if it came from a truckie or mechanic etc. Report this Post to the Staff
