Sorry just had to share it!

Is the donkey really pooping? That's really wacky.

Dare I ask why you were searching for "hole"?

For these. I collect holed coins!

It's best to use "holed" as a keyword, or you'll get every auction that says "this would fill a hole in your collection"!

The words "Worm" and "Pooping" in the same title. Betcha could search eBay for the next ten years with those keywords and not get another hit.

<< Is the donkey really pooping? That's really wacky. >>

Yep. You betcha. That's a well-known note because of that. I think it was some sort of commentary on the value of the currency at the time in Germany?

I do "holed" and "hole" because some that say "hole" don't pop up on a "holed" search.

BTW- I see you won the 1827 SQ2 !

Exactly what I do. You should also try "pierced" and "touchpiece", which are usually used in conjunction with hammered English material. (You won't get many hits with those, but if you wanna cover the bases, you should check them from time to time.)

So I won the Bust half, eh? Cool. My holey collection of them is growing.

It's hard to read the Fraktur script, but the note below the donkey does indeed say that if nothing else is available, you can use worthless papermoney for your 'necessary business'.

Stunner · February 11, 2005 9:06AM

Be careful doin a hole search youll get in trouble

AuldFartte · February 11, 2005 9:20AM

Another search term which will yield some results for holed coins is "pierced". I've found some sellers, especially British ones, who use this term all the time.

It would have been a true classic if the owner had a slightly different name...

Askari · February 11, 2005 10:11AM

Welcome, Stunner!! Are you a "holey coin" collector, too?

That was a great ad !

Yes, it is possible that these little papers were used for this kind of "business"

En Isel, dei Dukaten schitt.
Diän hett wey Paderbüörnsken nit.
Doch gift et Isels genaug in der Welt.
Dei kaupert ufe Papeyergeld.

This is a funny little rhyme, written in the local slang of the people in Paderborn.

We don`t have a donkey that can crap ducats.
But there are enough donkeys in the world, that crap on papermoney.

I think you meant to say "this pooped up"
