Fun day...

[FooserPaul]

ok... so today I drove to Boston taking my Son back home... I stopped at a common that has yielded finds every trip... Last trip there I nabbed the Federal Revenue Cutter Cufflinks...

Edited: Son messing with me... I have a bucket list and he has been looking for items on my bucket list... and thought he was helping me out :-(

in the totals picture that big coin is a Canadian Two Dollar piece... There was some swings close by and the wood chips were calling me :-) but... I didn't even know that canada had two dollar coins...

HH all...

Re: No wonder these almost never get dug !

yep their called "toonie" --one dollar coins are called "loonies" after the loon birds on em --so two dollar coin is called a "toonie"--go figger

now for the scary part - a mere 13 years ago --I got for 1 us dollar-- $1.50 candain in exchange --today you get 95 to 96 cents candain for 1 us dolar -- that;s a exchange loss of 54 cents per dollar exchanged -- over a 1/3 rd ( 33%) drop in value in 13 years -- almost 3 % per year loss in trading value * ( much more the interest paid by investing it in a savings account at current interest rates )
