Ok, now that is cool. If I saw one of those I would buy them off the person using it. I wonder if they knew what it really was?
I have some "old money" and some "war money" given to me by family. (Yes, a bunch of it has that WW2 country symbol on it). I don't think you can trade a lot of it anymore.
Occupation notes are worthless currency but have collectible value. There's only a few coins that the USA proper minted that you can't use anymore, but I can't remember what they are.
I do go in to the bank and buy up their $2s every once in a while. I usually get at least 1 old bill, like 1930s or something.
The amount of people that don't know that there is a legal $2 bill is insane. My grandmother always sent them with a card for birthdays.
My father now thinks it is hilarious to gift dollar coins that everyone thinks are quarters. (I am not young, he just has a odd sense of humor).
I have been thinking about getting into coin-hunting (or whatever you call it) to collect actual silver coins. Something to do when watching a show with my Wife.
Thanks, I like when random posts turn into a interesting conversation =)
I see the odd silver coin every once in a great while...consider yourself lucky if you find one.
