How do you think the coin you found got there? POLL TIME!

[mickk]

Ive often thought about why coins get found, especially valuable ones at the time.

Im sure some were hidden by their owners at troubled times, others stolen and hidden. A lot just dropped I guess.

Little caches hidden by kids, big ones by people who died or forgot where they were. How many fell out whilst having a roll in the hay? or just by lying on the grass who knows?

So many must lie under where floors once were. The tips must be full of them too. What old box doesnt have a small coin trapped under the flap?

Id be interested to see how the poll comes out if you would like to vote!

VOTE EARLY AND VOTE OFTEN!

When I found my barber dime 1896 I bet the guy who lost it probly acused some one that they stolled it, probly lost a good frend over somthing he did.It's funny how we try to reinact sertan events or come up with our own ideas of how it got there.

Tornado dropped that bank vault in my backyard, money fell out, then tornado took the vault out over the river and dropped it in, later this spring.

When I find an old coin or a ring I often wonder
who the last person was that touched it and how
they lost it.

Money use to be nearly all coins so I think a hole in a pocket usually caused a lot of lost coins, especially gold ones. Money of the 20s and 30s was hard to come by and anyone lost coins of that era would be disasterous. So I think they were lost out of raggedy clothes and the loser hadn't a clue where they may have lost them. Monty

When kids managed to lose all of the discs for their tracer gun, they'd use coins instead... even if it meant swiping the "old coin jar" from mom's room.
