I was about 8 years old and had read a book on the Secret Service and about counterfeit coins. I got a war nickel and when I dropped it, it sounded funny. I KNEW I had a counterfeit nickel! I made my Mom take me to the police station so I could turn it in. The cop I showed it to told me it was a genuine coin and about how it had silver in it and was worth about 50 cents. I thought Wow, 50 cents for a nickel!! I was hooked from then on.
