What are people in Fort Scott, Kansas doing with that much British coinage? <watching video> I do not see a single penny in there! Disqualified! No record for you! Come back, one year!

onejinx Pillar of the Community United States 1231 Posts	Posted 07/13/2008 07:40 am I wonder if they will use a shop-vac to pick them all up? Report this Post to the Staff
1954siel Valued Member United States 77 Posts	Posted 07/13/2008 09:05 am That would be the easiest way to do it. How else would they clean that up. They didnt say though how many pennies they had so far? Report this Post to the Staff
onejinx Pillar of the Community United States 1231 Posts	Posted 07/13/2008 09:55 am I heard them mention a million. But it could end up being more Report this Post to the Staff

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19944 Posts	Posted 07/13/2008 9:16 pm LOL! That woman cracks me up! "If you can do this, you can do anything." ROFL....oh yea, it takes real talent and skill to line up cents (they are not pennies). I think she should design the next space shuttle for NASA now that she can do anything. I dunno, seems pretty dumb to me, but I'd sure like to go through all those to look for keepers! Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff

penny pincher Valued Member United States 429 Posts	Posted 07/14/2008 12:52 pm amac44 if you are like me then you are glad that you live no where near that area because roll searching for the next few years is going to be completely useless. How fun is it going to pick up a coin from a roll with a high grade on one side and scratched to death on the other. If this was being done with animals PETA would have been out there in a minute, where are all the picketing coin collectors? Report this Post to the Staff
