    I find that sort of stuff occasionally. That arcade token is gold to a kid. Most arcade machines take those same tokens.

    Yep... there are a lot of junk/foreign coins found in the coinstar reject bin....I imagine they are dumped into the machine in the hope that they will 'count' them as 'something'...then left when they did not. I have a jar of them....Why?... Well, if it looks like a coin, I tend to keep it.... :D:D:D Cheers, RickO

    I see similar stuff in those machines. :(

    Sometimes I'll toss in such stuff into the drop bin just so the next user has something kind of neat to tell his friends about.

    I'd be happy to find any of those and thrilled to find all four at once.

    The French coin is probably older than me.

    Better than a sticky cent or two, which is my most common find, second only to nothing.

    Well my big find besides the $1.50 or so in US and Canadian change was the .38 caliber bullet.

    I hope you sent the bullet back to Barney Fife.

    Probably a reject from a shotgun roll....

    The pardon is for tyrants. They like to declare pardons on holidays, such as the birthday of the dictator, or Christ, or the Revolution. Dictators should be encouraged to keep it up. And we should be encouraged to remember that the promiscuous dispensation of clemency is not a sign of political liberality. It is instead one of those valuable, identifying marks of tyranny.
