RoadKill

[Fulvio]

What just one tiny little box in the corner of the money-bin cleaned up?

Yep. Today's haul consisted of no coins or roadkill though... just a grand or so of notes. Mostly big paper, with a repeater and a CoA $10, plus a test note and four Crisp new AA11's.

I sadly had to pass on the two packs of new $5. Though I did check the bundles to see if any had a radar or repeater... sadly they were 194 6xx and 194 7xx, not 1 or 4. DRAT!

Oh, and AJ, sorry mate, but that little effort chewed up all my petty cash and I couldn't do the promised deposit. I'll try again Thursday.

1994 looks like a counterfeit to me? got scales?

:i_agree: Check the interrupted milling as well. :angel:

The star seems to be touching the top of the 2. So is it a fake?

we have one very similar and it has been professionally declared a fake
we were advised to hand it into the feds but also cautioned that they would confiscate it
seems there were quite a lot of those getting around a few years ago

There is always two sides to a coin. :dodgy:

it's hammer time!!! (for those old enough to remember ha ha - I think that we still have the record/single!)

Strangely no damage whatsoever on the 'good side'.!!

Open to any theories or ideas. :dontknow:

The head side was down on a steel deck (factory, ship etc) when somebody put their rubber soled shoe on it and twisted a bit, that would leave no damage to the reverse but the obverse was scratched on all the high points. The damage wasn't from a car or from a coin on a footpath as concrete/asphalt leave different marks.
I base this on being a lifelong cheapskate who picks up lots of roadkill free money.

I had bucket loads of roadkill coins but the wife saw them and spent them....don't know what she bought but I am still paying for it!

[Fulvio]

I am still paying for it!

Wives do that.. occupational hazard.

Noodled this one yesterday.

Looks a lot like the $1's and $2's I dumped on my unfriendly teller... about 500 of them. I wonder how and why they get like that, especially in quantity?

[ausjack]

:mocking: do you really want me to play this game as I find things that only just pass as coins..poor little blokes

It could be all you people that "Noodle" that are wearing them out as you sort through them :diablo::angel:

[Goldseeker]

Nope, we don't wear the coins out but we all put a secret mark somewhere on the coin to identify it that it has already been looked at.

The one pictured has been checked by many a noodler.

That's my story and I will stick to it............

Some noodlers in the US actually spray paint the edges of the coins they have searched before dumping them at the Bank :dash1:

Be careful saying things like this Goldy as that is technically defacing currency; an offence that can result in a prison term.
