Understandably, it didn't take long for hundreds of opportunistic by passers to strip it clean. To be exact, the penny-billboard only lasted for a mere 30 minutes


--The voracious urban jungle that is downtown London, where a penny billboard is stripped bare in a mere 30 minutes.

I saw an old car with some old coins and other stuff "attached" to it in Branson, Missouri recently on vacation.......
I admit, that I had impure thoughts on coming back there at 3:00 a.m. and prying some off.................but they were just "thoughts" and I would never do that !!

It's been done a couple of times but I'm not sure if it's ever been done as an advertisement.

Oh man...that guy and his van, does it get more 70s than that?

There's a great new product spin-off for BadThad's Verdi-Gone: a copper car cleaner!

I can't help thinking that I hope they knew enough to poke through them and kick out anything good.

Could you imagine seeing something like this while playing tourist and then spotting a key date or something more "important" like <gulp> the "King" himself?

Somewhere on that copper van, there's a 69-S DDO...can you find it before the coin is lost on the highway?

aw man.. that's the first thing I thought of when I saw those. Think they would notice if they had a.. few.. followers down the highway?
