Biedercoins Pillar of the Community United States 1602 Posts	Posted 05/21/2019 12:03 pm I put the actual coins in an airtight tin and doused the cardboard packaging with most of the ants in RAID. I'd like to return the whole god-awful mess back to the United States Mint but I'm afraid they'd consider it an act of terrorism. Does anybody do certifications for insect infested varieties? I hope they're rare but I fear not. ANACS perhaps? AIACS? American Entomology Society? Report this Post to the Staff

llewellin Pillar of the Community United States 1005 Posts	Posted 05/22/2019 3:54 pm Wow that's scary I can only imagine the terror of opening coins and finding a live ant colony. I wonder what's next? Nests of angry hornets in ASE monster boxes? Report this Post to the Staff
