Anybody giving away Presidential Dollars for Halloween

Posts: 277
I recall stories long ago of how some people would give away silver dollars (long time ago) or just money for Halloween/trick or treat. So, anybody giving away Pres dollars, or any other numismatic items to the little ghosts/goblins?
No, not me, just giving away the simple cheap sugar type candy

Of course my house is at the end of a long dark road and no one showed up the last two years.

Wait until a kid, thinking they are "chocolate inside" takes a bit out of them and you end up paying for the dental bill
Nope....not giving out money at my house...though it would probably be cheaper than giving out candy!
(we won't even be home, so I will leave all the lights off, including my driveway lights, and hope the kids don't want to walk down that path in the dark and rain)
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

...i've thought about that idea but was convinced the kids would not appreciate them and would sail them through my windows in retaliation!

If they are sufficiently scared off from entering the driveway, the house is far enough back that their arms wouldn't be able to throw that far

Give something scarey... something they've probably never seen before. An invoice for the candy.
As of this minute I've had 76 trick-or-treaters come to my door so giving away Presidential Dollars would be an expensive proposition.

But I grew up in the sixties in Racine, Wisconsin - the home of Western Publishing and Whitman. I remember getting the trifold blue Whitman coin folders as a treat instead of candy - current Lincolns one year and nickels another year.
