In the Washington Post today, there is a near full page article about free safes being GIVEN away "full of 267 never-circulated U.S. Gov't coins". It's a total crock of crap.

Phone number listed is:

1-866-964-2953

  • I saw that ad a couple weeks ago in my local paper. Makes it sound so good till you read what you are actually getting. The coins are not even worthy of keeping in a safe.

    It would be funny, you have an old safe you need to get rid of, weighs 3 tons, put 5 rolls of cents inside, put out an ad, get free movers, save a fortune.

    Not that that's happening here.

    Another shister World Reserve Money Exchange ad.

    You have to read the fine print which states that you need to purchase all the presidential dollar coins at their going rate of $124 for 50 coins. If you cancel the "subscription". you then need to pay for the safe.

    The same ad showed up in the Rotarian Magazine. One day, these folks will get sued and or shut down for false incinuative advertising.

    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    I saw that in our local newspaper's brand of Parade magazine. I read the whole article just to see how bad it was. It is a total rip off. One item that caught my eye was the return policy. Once the "restocking fee" is deducted plus the shipping to send it back you would be out more $$ than the original cost.

    That is not an article, it is an advertisement paid for buy the seller of rolled 'golden' dollars and quarters which you can get at most banks
