kcm no they are not active currency. markka coins. nowadays it is euros

With the UK leaving the EU maybe other countries will follow and go back to their original currency. Save that marrka

I have been in an apartment for 10 years. Bought a brand new home and moving north in 3 months and have already started packing.
I have already started throwing away some nice things, not valuable, but nice. I do not put them in the dumpster but in front of. So far everything is gone in less than a few hours.

Biggest problem is our 1948 piano. No piano store wants it and I can't bring it down to the dumpster. There are two website where you can list a piano or other musical instruments and people can accept them. They have to come and get.

hi

silver knifes and spoons from trash. also two english pewter spoons from 1912 with name. and nice silver ring with red stones from 1800-.

 

[kcm]

Dang Aquila!! I can't get over all the great stuff that folks are throwing away over there! ...I mean, money?? Geez!

This stuff I can potentially see finding in the trash, but you sure do have some 'nice' people in your area!!

i have now started collecting stamps from paper trashcans. i found some russian stamps with double eagle made before 1917.

Sheesh!! Yeah, I'd say you live in a good area for "treasure hunting".

 

[Aquila]

hundreds of thousands of people throw their garbage away here so everything can be find. problem is new metal thrashcans are almost impossible to dive. here are the russian stamps btw

Please Aquila, keep posting your finds! They're all very much different from what we see over here. Not to mention, your stories on how you just "find" this stuff in dumpsters....makes me wanna buy an airline ticket!! ...But alas, will never make that trip again. Just too long - can't take the long flights anymore.

Break up your flight. On my last trip to Japan I had a nice layover in Beijing.

I asked why r u so mad over him getting a box.. he said its a drug addict that would rather steal than work.. wooow really did he go there? yes he did. but i looked back at this person and i said may i ask u some questions? he said yeah sure, i asked is it aghaist the law for him to get the stuff ur company threw away into the dumpster? he quickly said yes its trespassing? of coarse i said ok, then i asked him why do u think a person that dumpster dives is on drugs? this one will piss u off he says that everyone that has ever done this is on the drugs to have to lower there self to get stuff like that.. calm ur self dont let him and his stupidness get to yea cause i set this person straight lol the last question i asked was who r u to judge people? before he could answer i said let me tell u this first of all its not breaking the law cause there is not one and 2nd its trespassing when it was locked/ fenced/ or private property and who are u to judge there is only one true judge and thats god and last was im a diver kiss my grits im done.. people like this really make me mad. what about u

There's a lot of shallow-minded people in the world. ...I'd say you found one.

There are folks who have a mentality that simply won't allow themselves to let perfectly good items go out in the trash, even if the trash belongs to someone else. Well, if there's one kind of person, you know there has to also be an exact opposite; someone who considers anything even sitting near a dumpster or down an alley to be putrid. Then figure all the folks that fall somewhere in between the two extremes. So this likely isn't the first person who has felt that way around you, but is the first time that someone felt strongly enough or had such an in-your-face attitude to be able to confront you about the practice.

....Welcome to "humanity".
