Kids and coin collecting

ttown

Digging though some old coins trying to see if I still had my racketeers nickel to post on the v nickel thread. I found a 1930 S standing I got in change with a couple 1923 peace dollars working at a pizza parlor in the 70's. Some teenagers thought a pizza was better than some old coins of their dads I guess 😤 My best find ever!!!!!

My worst coin collection nightmare?

As a single parent of 3 we were a back pew sitter family in case telling them don't make me smack you Bevis didn't work. 👋One Sunday they were passing the plate. Some lady in her infinite wisdom thought passing it to a 8 year old was a good idea. Well of course he dropped it and about 10 billion coins proceeded rolling under 20 rows of pews in front.

Man was I mad I thought I was going to have to chew all those cheapskates out.😌To my son, I had both
Dennis and Menace.......good times😱 Here's one to those kids:
