    seems like a crime spree there. Man steals cell phone, then attempts to spend unusual looking quarter...and getting spooked by the puzzled look of the cashier...flees to his makeshift home under the overpass.

    You can expect this when there are several dozen different quarter designs all circulating at the same time.

    Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

    It WAS an ATB. Somebody got suspicious because George did not have "spaghetti hair."

    A "suspicious coin"? Did they think it was going to rob someone? Good thing it was a quarter, because if was a half dollar, they'd profiled it as a criminal and thrown it in the slammer.image
    Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

    Even if it was a fake, is it really worth wasting law enforcement resources over 25 cents? The clerk should be arrested.
