Not checking my change when I purchase stuff
Hello
In checking my change tonight I got a 10 cent coin from what I think may be from Mexico. It is near the same size and shape to the U.S. Dime. It has the following text "ESTA-DOS UNIDOS MEXICANOS". It has a symbol of and eagle with a snake in it's beak and it's claws grabbing a (what appears to be), a fish or rock. The other side of the coin has 10 c (1996). I also though I has two quarters. It turn out to be two CAR WASH TOKENS. .... |

It turn out to be two CAR WASH TOKENS. People collect tokens. Some day you may be able to get 25 cents each for them. |

Never got a token back in change although I've seen them in coinstar
reject slots. No Canadian quarters in quite a while for me, but in one week I got 3 Canadian cents from various locations. Tried to pass one off and just my luck I get a teller that collects coins and spotted it in a second. She balked a bit but accepted it. The few quarters I get (or find metal detecting) are given to someone that goes to Canada to fish. I have heard conflicting reports that those work in vending machines. OZ, who found a 1957 Mexican half dollar while detecting last week. No silver content in them *ugh* |
