Spotted an Indian at McDonald's

Postby Morsecode » Sun Sep 25, 2011 7:33 pm

There it was, in the plexi charity box on the counter. Right on top - upside down, of course. I briefly contemplated trying to suck it out with a straw, but I didn't want to make the 11 o'clock news.

Looked to be vf, maybe better.

and be with caution bold.
Not all that tempts your wandering eyes and heedless hearts is lawful prize,
nor all that glistens gold.

Reminds me the McDonalds I used to work in, there was always a $5 bill in the charity
box. Someone told me the owner put it in to check if anyone was pilfering from it. If
the $5 bill was missing it would be really obvious. Maybe this Indian penny is the
same idea but more creative. :-D

I saw a buffalo nickel in one once. The only one I have ever seen in the wild.

Funny, I don't frequent McD's very often, but I was in one last night and I was scoping out the change bin as well. They just make it clear to tease us! Anyway, nothing good as far as I could tell, not even a copper cent as far as I could see.

Much better was this mornings Penny Arcade zinc dump that resulted in a 1946 Washington in the reject slot! I was happy about that. But I can tell you for sure that last week I would have been MUCH MORE excited than I was this morning. I am confident that this silver dip is temporary, but it is less fun finding wild silver on big dips like this. Jeez.. I kinda feel like a jerk whining about finding a silver quarter!

Oh monster box, you are still way too expensive for me, but maybe soon I will be able to buy you if this continues. Right before the rebound.

Manager doesn't have the key. A coin collection company is contracted with MCD to pick them up.
