So today I stop at a bank to pick up a box of dimes. As I was leaving I spotted what looked like a plastic coin on the ground. I picked it up and it was metal so I flipped it over and see 1/2 Fr. 1970

I laugh and think... Cool...

Well I'm going about my day and stop and pick up another box about 50 miles from where I got the first box. I open them on the highway heading to my next stop about 75 miles north of that.

I pick up a box at a 3rd bank. Roughly 170 miles from the first one where I found the Swiss 1/2 franc. This box was all customer rolls.

As I open my 5th roll I see ANOTHER 1/2 Swiss Franc 1974.

What are the odds of finding one on the ground and another in a roll 170 miles away from the first one on the same day?

I'm still puzzled. This feels like a prank lol.

Cool! That wasn't coincidence. Destiny is telling you to go to Switzerland. LOL. Hey, maybe a treasure is awaiting you over there :laughing7:
 
These were probably left by the Swiss zombies who were confused about the date of the Apocalypse!
 
Hey, did you feel like you had just entered the twilight zone with those two finds?
