My brother owns several coin op laundries in the worst parts of town... When doing repairs on the machinery, after taking the face off the dryers, I'll usually find anywhere from once cent to $5 in coin or bills - Yesterday, I found something much different and unexpected... A large copper coin --- cleaned the lint off only to find an 1862 10 centesimi coin from Italy with the Milan mint mark - in excellent condition --- worth anywhere from $10 - $50 depending on buyer...

very happy

Very Nice find! It's amazing what people will put in those machine thinking they're getting over because it's not a quarter!

A friend worked in a dry cleaners and they check the pockets before washing..... she found a bag of diamonds!

Which of course was returned to the grateful diamond dealer!

Another friend bought a coat at a Tag Sale (yard sale if yer down south) and found $2000 and jewelry, which also was returned...

Lots of Luck to Ya!

Kat ;D
