I think it's the tip that John Channing left for a pizza delivery guy in 1962. :D

so what came out of this?

It's all Greek to me................hahahaha :know:

I have a ton of old bills in an album...maybe they will be worth something in the future. Got a danish bill with Hans Christian Andersen on it :D
Got bills from most of the Europeans countries - before they changed to Euros

I'm meeting with him tomorrow.

Well, met with him this morning, and he says that it is in fact real... and valuable, which has made me giddy with excitement.:rock:

:up:

If I had one I wouldn't have sold it, would keep it all to myself (My Precious!)

Upon closer look, it appears to be a token from Ilse's house of whips and chains. Good for one beating.

I would not cash it in if I were you.

You know some of those coins sell of 1,500 British Pounds :o

Being a student, I'd be jumping with joy if I found one. Ach I really need to become a treasure hunter or something. I'd certainly be richer hehe :D

Actually thats not too far from the truth, apparently the Roman Army had tokens made depicting various 'personal services' so that troops stationed in a part of the empire where they couldn't speak the local lingo could still purchase said 'personal services'. ;)I think the tokens could be redeemed for regular cash later.

Or even some real money. :rotfl:

[quote=FIREWALL]At least we're doing better than the Dollar. :down: I'm not complaining though having a few friends in New York I can buy stuff for half price :rock:

That is unless your being pedantic and only recognize "pound sterling" which sounds waiiii cooler than a "dollar" :p

I didn't sell it, and I don't plan on ever selling it. It will be locked away in the safe I have in my basement, which is built into the basement floor for extra precautions.:up:

surprise
 

believe it or not but i also have that coin. it was given to me by my grandfather in one of his travel stories. he was scuba diving near rome or something rather and came upon it.:)
