ChangeFinds1997 Valued Member United States 85 Posts	Posted 01/07/2018 8:00 pm Here's one I found stuck in asphalt. I quickly spent it at a local mcdonalds. This one could easily be seen as a punchout and not a coin as nearly all the copper plating is gone. Road rash does not get any worse than this before the coin fragments up and is destroyed like the one that has only half remaining. Report this Post to the Staff

However using the word "crumble" to describe our country is hyperbole. Where would you prefer to live? Edited by CelticKnot 01/07/2018 10:20 pm Report this Post to the Staff
ChangeFinds1997 Valued Member United States 85 Posts	Posted 01/07/2018 10:43 pm Yeah I also received a steel punchout from the same mcdonalds a couple weeks back. Now thats just ridicoulous to let slide. a $2 bill shouldnt cause problems and from what I remember wasn't taught of in my elementary school. And by crumble I mean all these riots and terrorist attacks that have been happening. Id prefer to live in the middle of nowhere if I could. Report this Post to the Staff
