POLL: Have you found any coins in your bathroom?

Okay, this is not a nasty question or anything. I'm trying to be real here.

Here's the background:

Some time ago, I ordered some of those bronze presidential spouse medals. Some of them came with dark spots and I decided to 'dip' those spots off. I did so close to a good water supply...my bathroom. That was a few weeks ago. Today, as I am tidying up, I see that I missed one coin; it was hiding from me; slid under the soap dish. The coin was in a capsule, so it was in fine shape.

But, yes. I found a coin in my bathroom.

It occurred to me that this may be a common indicator for coin collectors. And perhaps a poll will bring out some of the more 'private' stories relating to coin collecting.

The question is: Have you ever found a coin in your bathroom. I just did.

No, but I once took a 'bath' in a coin room. That was when I was a youngster and a dealer ripped me.... ah well, experience is what you get when you screw up. Cheers, RickO

Napped in pants, coins came out, slept in tshirt and briefs coins stuck to leg. Late night trip to rest room, coins fell off leg. Found next day. Smelled like....

You never know as they say that over the course of a lifetime a person swallows 9 spiders... so how much change is passed

No, but I've been finding q tips floating in the hopper every day lately... seems our youngest cat named Paulie has taken up a new pastime of picking q-tips out of the trash can and putting them in the toilet and watching them float for fun, After hes pulled the cotton off both ends of course. When he learns to flush it then I've got real problems...

No, but once I superglued one Indian Cent deep in each of six urinals in the men's room at a coin show. I stopped back an hour later and four of the six were gone. True story.

So you found a medal under the soap dish you hadn't touched in a few weeks, eh Adam?
I think the moral here is that you should get a little more familiar with the soap and what it's for.

No, but my wife did. I had some of those bogus Arkansas quarters on my bathroom counter with Clinton having sex on the reverse and my wife spent them.

I better look there - I am still looking for 2 coins my 2 year old hid somewhere in the house

Found 2 Indian Head Pennies (both 1906), bored out for washers, while changing out my grandmother's toilet!

When my daughter was around 5, she found a Mushroomed shaped error nickel (that I had misplaced) under the couch and claimed it as hers. I let her have it.. It is still in her collection today. I do want in back .

I don't know about Adam, but after reading Mr. Eureka's story I think he should be steam cleaned after playing in six urinals. Remind me never to shake his hand.

Yup...some have come out of the hamper, apparently left in pockets by accident.
