TimJing Valued Member United States 346 Posts	Posted 07/30/2007 02:35 am Haha, yeah, I'll run the fanny pack thing by my girlfriend next time we decide to go to the flea market together. I'm sure she'll love the notion. And yeah, it was in a 2x2 holder. Usually when I get coins I get a little manila envelope type thing to slip them into, but I didn't get one of those today. Oh well.

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 07/30/2007 07:44 am We've all done stupid things like that. Most people either forget it or pretend it never happened. I carry a camera type bag and have put coins in there when at a coin show. Don't know how many times I thought I lost it, forgot it or something and then it turned up months later. Getting old and weak eye sight. Last week I handed a store clerk a $100 bill thinking it was a $10. Luckily she said don't you have anything smaller? I didn't even know I had a bill on me that size. Don't know how many times I've gone out to my garage and when I get there stand there wondering why I went there. I make list of things for the store and forget the list and at the store have no idea of what I wanted. I just found a $5 bill in a grocery bag where I put it a few weeks ago because I was to lazy to put it in my pocket. Yes, yes don't feel bad about that loss. Even though you sound young, your still getting old too. The thing to do is hopefully that guy at the flea market is still there and is honest. Report this Post to the Staff
Scottishmoney Pillar of the Community United States 597 Posts	Posted 07/30/2007 07:53 am I did something like this when I was about 12-13 years old, I bought a colonial era piece of paper money, United Colonies $4 from 1776. I remember being amazed at it's age etc. and I liked to look at it often. So I had it laying around the living room. Then it turned up missing, and was gone for several months. I figured that either my brother pilfered it and denied it, or that one of our neighbours had lifted it. About a year later I lifted up the sofa to check for change in the dust cover, and there it was. I had apparently been looking at it while laying on the sofa, and left it there and it slipped in betwixt the cushions into the dust cover. Report this Post to the Staff
