I'd put a penny in a burned out fuse and vote for Eisenhower 'cause Lincoln won the war.

He's an old hippy and he don't know what to do
Should he hang on to the old?
Should he grab onto the new?
He's an old hippy, his new life is just a bust
He ain't trying to change nobody
He's just trying real hard to adjust.

thisnamztaken · March 30, 2009 8:47AM

"Panama Red" ones?

Dude, that's stoners, not toners!

KentuckyJ · March 30, 2009 8:53AM

Morgan toners. They drop acid on a Saturday night just to see what the fuss is about.

wow........what was the question again?

thisnamztaken · March 30, 2009 9:17AM

Far out, heavy question man, but only plastic people collect coins!

ambro51 · March 30, 2009 9:29AM

...as one who "walked that walk" during the early seventies....let me assure you we collected any coin we could. A great place to look was in washing machines in the laudromat. Also, grocery store parking lots were good, and I used to walk along the walls of local schools, where pitching pennies was once a great sport. If you could get into a junkyard (free to roam in a pick-it yard) there was always some coin to be found under the seats. Bad thing here was you usually had to buy something, a window crank was my usual "buy".

But money in itself was not a goal, just something you needed to grease the path of life a bit.

yean dig it ........it is spelled Hippie

"What kinds of coins does a Hippy collect, anyway??"

I'm not sure but I'd bet a buck they'd be minted from "pot" metal!

I had a Bob Marley Jamacan silver/gold commemorative when I was a hippie. I traded it for a gold spouse when I became a democrat. Now that I'm an independent I just collect gold.
