Well...I didn't find it in my change, but...one of my friends showed it to me not knowing what it is and I was like: "gasp! THose aren't suppose to me out!" He said he got it from a vending machine. So I wanted to know is it even legal for these coins to be in circulation yet? And why would you break a set spending these?

See..other people are ALWAYS luckier than me. Sigh!

legal? yes.

Why break it out? Someone doesn't care.

And I'm never the lucky one either.

I would love to go though the coins from a coinstar machine. No telling what treasure are in there. People just dump their change into it w/o even giving it a second thought.

Funny gosd, that's what my dad said when I told him. But I mean, other than that situation, would anyone spend 5 times the face value and just use it as money?

Gotta wonder if any of those curling quarter mules will get into circulation?
