Quote: The "Great Coin Jar Dump of 2008" is indeed in full swing. haha I knew I should have trademarked that phrase!  Although I called it "change jar" originally, I ended up saying "coin jar" in another thread earlier tonight.  Maybe a change jar is for pennies and a coin jar is for cents?  Now excuse me while I go write some theme music and come up with a logo!

you ever get that coin that makes your heart pound only to find out later it is absolutly worthless, and you feel like a idiot. I go through tim hortons and get a toonie for change When I looked at the coin there is this wierd head on it and strange writing, I think wow a error toonie stuck with the wrong country president. later I found out it was a mexican peso that looks like a toonie, only worth a few cents. I feel like going back and getting the rest of my $1.98 change. boo-hiss

Today's 'find': 1987 Canada $1 coin, given to me by a CoinStar repairman. I see him working on the machine, and I say "Will this take long? I got some old silver dollars I gotta dump in there!"  He said, and I quote: "If you dump old silver dollars in there, then the machine's smarter than you, because it will take them!"  (Best comeback ever!)  I was kidding, of course, and he knew it...  A 1987 Loonie got jammed in the works, and he gave it to me.  The poor thing's down to VG or so, but hey it was free! I was still laughing about that comeback....

If you want a coin for a logo, a colorized Arkansas quarter* popped up in the till at work...should post a picture of it. I'm hoping the other 55 pop up in the next year. Beats paying 100x face for that crap. *could also be swapped out for the 01-S Sac dollar, or the wannabe proof Ohio-P quarter.

The mechanic who fixed my car collects coins and was a bit, uh, 'surprised' about my getting the '38-S right there at the shop!  Not to worry, he wanted a 1935 Cent to give to his grandfather and I have a nice BU Red '35 for him!
