found in the gutter on my midnight stroll.
left to right:
british coins*,
1- 1 pence
2- 2 pence
4- 5 pence
1- 10 pence
1- 20 pence
spanish euro coins,
1- 5 cent
1- 10 cent**
u.s. coins,
2- 1 cent
all are roughed up and scarred from being run over in the street. i wonder why and how long they might have been where i found them. i imagine some crazed spanish vagabond tossing them out the window of a fast moving vehicle and laughing maniacally.
*- those english sure are proud of elizabethII. her profile is on all of them.
**- my favorite. it has a picture of the enigmatic cervantes on the obverse, national side.

Really? Those coins were found in the gutter on a stroll in TX? I see a two pence and other unfamiliar coins. I would expect to see US coins or even Mexican coins but not European coins. Interesting. I didn't realize you lived in such a cosmopolitan place.
hehehe - it was I, the phantom filthy lucre flinger! 55p eh? I could buy a 100g of jelly beans with that.
Lily, I think it must have been you flinging those coins. When do you find the time to travel to TX?
Your configuration looks like something Mom would do.
nice find...
Rilera, I just close my eyes very tight and scrunch my face up and whoosh! there I am! The trouble is, I also change into a chubby little japanese chap. Bit annoying, that.
Were they arrayed in that geometric pattern? It might be the gutter version of crop circles, after all.
Lily: I'm sure we will see Lucrefinger in a future 007 movie.
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year, Cornbread :-) it's funny to address you as such, Rick. But I thought you might get a kick out of a cornbread discussion going around on the Voodoo Cafe. Check out Ricë's post for a very (typical of her) funny story: http://voodoonotes.blogspot.com/2009/01/white-peoples-cornbread-ringing-in-new.html
Cheers! Mary
same to you, donald.
