rggoodie Moderator United States 23537 Posts	Posted 10/15/2006 9:19 pm Today a mate of mine came up and presented me with three coins from Belgium 1929 1942 1944 each of these coins is a holed coin but the shape was a bit strange Each coin was concave or convex depending on how you looked at it. He then proceeded to tell me he was re-upholstering a chair and when he took off the covering What did he find, but these three coins being used as washers to hold the chair together. The pressure of the screws caused the misshaping of the coins. Now I something else to donate to my Grandson's collection. rggoodie aka Richard "catch em doing something right" Report this Post to the Staff

OldDan Pillar of the Community United States 1203 Posts	Posted 10/15/2006 9:31 pm Many, many years ago, when I was building furniture, I would purposely place pocket change in the items that I built. Never had thought of using them as washers, but did use them as spacers etc. Guess some day someone will find them and wonder what idiot put them there. Strange things happen all the time, I guess.
