Now that's just darn funny, especially since I've been to Labelle. IT's truly entertaining in that part of the swamp/cane fields and groves.

I'm mildly surprised that it wasn't a peso...

The bar down by the river had a half glued to the floor just as you walk in. Some guys would kick it two or three times. Lol.

Tie a dollar to a fishing line and pull it away that's always good for some laughs on the beach.

I was coming out of a local supermarket the other day and checked the coinstar machine. There was 99 cents in change plus a Canadian dime and some foreign 20 cent piece. How did someone forget all that? I do pull silver out of them, but it's few and far between.

I have seen a nickel glued to the floor at work. I knew it was glued because I tried picking it up lol.

I remember years ago at a general store I go to, there was a penny on the floor. Didn't think it was glued to the floor until I tried picking it up. Probably a few weeks later it was gone. Coinstar wise, no glued coins but nothing special for me, a few modern rejects and a foreign once in a while but that's it.

Great prank! Once on a walk around the neighborhood, I found a quarter on the sidewalk in front of a house. Yep, it was glued to the sidewalk. Made me wonder if they had a video cam focused on it. maybe I'm on youtube somewhere haha

So..its worth mentioning, that when I tried to snag the dime, I noticed that it was shiny and smooth... like lots of attempts to rescue it...I bet everyone in that town has fallen for it.

I remember once of walking along in front of this Smart-butts' house ans saw a couple of quarters on the sidewalk.
I had already seen him out the side of my eye. So I tried to scuff them and sure enough they were glued down.
So I grabbed my Kershaw, which I had in my right front pocket. Thumb-clicked it open and quickly pried them both up.
Well, the guy saw me and rushed over and said, "Hey, those are MY quarters!" I said, "no they aren't, they are on
public property." He did a quick look at the knife in my hand and was grumbling:BangHead: that "It was a joke", as he walked back
to his easy chair on the porch. Me? I just put my knife away, the quarters in my pocket and walked on.:headbang:
