Cool story! He should get the nickel back, not the microfilm though.

Give the guy the nickel, geez. When the guy passes away, the

estate can auction it and then the FBI can buy it back if they want it

so bad.

Neat story.... a friend of my wife came to visit.... she knew I was a coin collector. She

brought me a couple of coins... one was a British penny.... I was handling it and dropped it on

the table (cloth covered by the way) and popped into two halves...just like that nickel.

Unfortunately, nothing was inside..... but neat to find. She had no idea about the hidden

compartment... just saved it for years because it was big and British. Cheers, RickO

I have heard of Opium Dollars, but not other hollowed out denominations...just goes to show ya what could have slipped through ones fingers without noticing.

More recent Kennedy half were done as magician's coins have been seen on eBay.
