Look what I got as a "quarter" in my change today!

[Msbeepbeep]

Stopped at the neighborhood 7-11 and got this in my change. Didn't notice till I got in the car and put my change away. I was wondering why there was a lady's figure on our quarters, hadn't seen one of those before, on closer inspection it's a French Franc $1. 1961!

I hope I did this right!
Sorry it's sideways.

Nice find! Thanks for sharing...

 

[dirtlooter]

a totally unexpected surprise of the good sort!

Silver?

Well that's more exciting then a regular ole quarter anyway.

 

[Msbeepbeep]

I was hoping it was but it's not, but nice surprise! It is the same size as a quarter.
I was testing my pic posting ability, shocked myself it worked!
Thanks Perses!
Thanks WHATDIFIND !

They still 7-11 stores? Wow, I thought they went out of business years ago.........

 

[Msbeepbeep]

A couple 7-11 left probably independent, maybe they haven 't changed the sign!

JEFF G nice to have you back!!!!!

We have 7-11s in every city here in Florida, especially the beach towns...some beach towns have one every mile or so.

I didn't see this until just now and I haven't read the rest of the thread yet but I just wanted to say:

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Your VERY first pic!!! I am so proud!!!

YOU GO GIRL!!! <:-)

 

[CoinandRelicMan]

Nice in change find, never seen that one yet!

 

[Old Dude]

Uh oh, the beast has been unleashed! Congrats on your first pic.....our lil girl is growing up so fast! Nice coin.

Well Msbeepbeep that's quite a find. Congrats!!!! After a little research I've discovered that this is a rare coin (in 7-11 stores). Only 3 known to exist in the world today (from 7-11's). I'm an expert on these French Franc's since I dig horseshoes in Tennessee. Pictured below is the 3rd rare 7-11 French Franc. I vote BANNER!!!!!

Congrats on first posted pic lady also!!!!

 

[Msbeepbeep]

Thank you, thank you!
Ya, now how do you all like your pics of can slaw, tossed, with croutons, dirt on the side?

You would have laughed watching me try to figure it out! My pic posted sideways, so I guess I'll just group everything in a circle!

I know Limitool it was a fantastic rare find, ye 'ole 1961 French Franc in 7-11 change! Usually I get short changed not given more! It's banner that I didn't crash the site!

Well now there is no excuse for not finding that chest of gold...or a golden horse shoe, right?
Knowing Murphy, I will probably never find another thing in my life, except can slaw!

Have to frame my diploma!
Invited to the son's new house Friday after work, I'm bringing the M6, locked & loaded!

[WHADIFIND]

Thank you, thank you!

Absolutely worthy! You worked HARD to get this far!

Don't worry about sideways. Next time just take the picture sideways and it'll come out right, (or upside down LOL ).

Go for it!

 

[Old Dude]

I would stand on my head to look at your pictures of your silver and gold finds!

 

[Ahab8]

Ms Beep you always put a smile on my face. You are very sincere and positive. Congrats on posting your first pic. Well done, and if the site crashes I will assume you tried to post a video lol

 

[Tony12100]

Wow msbeepbeep I can see how that mistake could be made with all the different designs on state quarters. That's cool . Good catch

 

[Msbeepbeep]

Thanks all for the guidance and encouragement!
As for video...I once unintentionally, made one of my feet walking, didn't know I had turned it on! So I doubt I will be trying that one, I don't know the difference between PDF and BVD !
Hollywood is safe for now!
Old Dude-if I find any, use a pillow, easier on the head! If I can't get the orientation right your all going to need pillows!

I live and learn, and go forth to make the world wonder...WHAT IN THE HECK WAS SHE THINKING!!!!!
