Find myself facing a MAJOR quandry!!!

I'm at work, and I'm starving! I have a hunger for only what chocolate can provide! Luckily, a co-worker keeps a jar of candy on her desk. I went over and grabbed out one of those Palmer "Milk Chocolate Coins of all Nations" mesh bags of gold coins, as that was all she had. It apealed to me on another level besides a chocolate fix, since I collect coins.

ANYWAY....... I tear open the bag, only to discover that all but 1 of the coins is of the new EURO coin designs!!! They're WAY too attractive for me to tear apart to go after their chocolatey filling!! They even come with "bi-metal" or gold & copper-colored wrappers!!

So I ate the one old-style Spanish coin, but that only increased my need for chocolate!!

So NOW what do I do?image Do I take the advice of some folks over on the Lightside and "crack-out" some of them anyway? (by the way - - no duplicates). Do I just grin & bear it & wait till they let me out of my cage? (These days, conference calls are scheduled all hours of the day - - even thru LUNCH!!) image

Or do I just go "Postal" and threaten some co-workers until they come up with some non-Euro chocolates?

    That's the problem with chocolate coins, especially if they are good chocolate AND have nice designs. image

    Sorry but these aren't like slabbed coins that you can just crackout and "submit for grading".
    These are clad coins which are destroyed when their outer layers are peeled away. So go ahead and enjoy.image
