    Just think, if when you picked it up, and it turned out to be a 1916D. This thread would really be a whole new ball game! LOL <3

    How's this for a magic trick:

    One time at work I discovered a silver Roosie from the register. Had a couple of co-workers look into it and some even held high against the light as if it was translucent (?) Apparently 1 of them dropped it but we didn't hear the ding sounds. We all searched high and low and to this day it remained a mystery on where it went. Yes, we even check the folded up fabric at the bottom of each person's pants too to no avail...

    For some reason I couldn't resist the urge to look at the coin again when I was using the bathroom a few minutes later.
    Plop went the silver into the urinal.
    I will leave the rest of the story to the imagination of the reader.🤔

    And I get guff for digging a ca. 200 BC Roman coin out of the trash can next to the coin machine at my credit union?

    Is it another sign of advancing age that I know that "folded up fabric" is called a "cuff"? :o

    P.S. - I hope all of you checked your own cuffs. :#

    @mannie gray....If it were me, I would have picked the quarter out of the urinal... I have had my hands in much worse places (did some plumbing for a while)...That is what the sink and soap/hot water are for.... ;) Cheers, RickO

    I used a plastic fork to get it out.
    Placed it on paper towels.
    Hot water/soap.
    I have no shame.

    Did you use the round bar of soap that was in the urinal? :o

    You mean the Listerine mouthwash bar, right?

    ...right?

    Nothing compared to the texting teenage girl who ran the red light. That really WAS a scare! Glad I was paying attention. WHEW!

    Did you then crack out the bottle of "Urine be gone" and rescue it?
