Wow! I had to read for an hour before I could reply. I agree with PBK. The plastic game pieces are too close to overlook. Break one open to see if it has little weights inside. Case solved. I think he deserves the $20. The only thing left is to find a pic of the game pieces in metal or to know excactly why these commemoratives were made.

As far as the cookie coin, Im sorry you got little response, but the corroded coin could be anything. You need to find some markings; maybe thru electrolysis.

piggman, you need to bath in tomato juice.
Maybe smoke will help. I feel for ya. :P

You can't break one open, I've tried. They are sealed by the copper plating, and you can't get a hold on the tops with a pair of pliers to try and twist it off. There is no way these were made to be opened. As for as where the "answer" came from, it was someone who wrote me from my Craigs list ad.
Since I have been sprayed by skunks more times than I want to remember, here is the best way to remove the smell:

Here is the secret recipe that WORKS. Mix the following:

1 quart 3 percent hydrogen peroxide
1/4 cup baking soda (sodium bicarbonate)
1 teaspoon liquid soap or dish detergent
Mix these together and bathe ("shampoo" in or rub down) Be sure to use this mixture immediately after it is created, as it is unstable.
Rinse with tap water afterward, and repeat if necessary

When he came home this evening he did say something that caused me to spit out my drink.
"Mom, someone on that board is going to be upset if those things came from a Happy meal or something"

If they are, I'll never eat at Micky D's again. I may even go shove em up their Mcmuffin.
I'm still not convienced that is what they are. Simular yes, but certain I'm not.

 

[piggman1]

I don't want to destroy one. They may not be valuable, but they are priceless to me. especially after all of this.

I wouldn't blame you. He was kidding though.. Micky D's would not be able to give these out. For one, they do not look like they would pass the choke hazard test. Plus, the last time a metal object was given out in the food industry was Crackerjacks. (Still feel jilted by that company for selling out)

Would that skunk cure work for dog's? I have been wondering what I would do if my dog ran into one. This will be his first hunting season and the odds are high that he might encounter one.
Thanks!

That cure will work on anything. I have used it since my old trapping days, and it's a whole lot cheaper than tomato juice.

Oh, that cookie coin. Since it didn't apply to the topic, I let it go. Sorry.

I think it's safe to say these are game pieces made in celebration of the 2002 World Cup, hosted jointly by South Korea and Japan.

Regarding the piece with 2002 on one end face, once again, I think it's safe to say that the left hand zero depicts the center portion of the emblem on the South Korean flag and the right hand zero depicts the Japanese chrysanthemum flower emblem, as seen for example, on military rifles designed by the Imperial Japanese Army.....this combination of images would represent the two countries hosting the event together.

I know it stretches the imagination a little to agree that the right hand zero depicts the Japanese chrysanthemum emblem, but the castings had to be produced economically, there isn't a lot of room for design detail inside that little zero and the manufacturer only needed to produce a resemblance of the flower. I can't see why the designer would think it appropriate to put a spoked race car wheel, bicycle wheel, or for that matter, any one particular sports event next to the S. Korean flag emblem, in preference to a recognizable Japanese National emblem. As to why the rising sun image wasn't used, I would say it did not have enough detail, so they opted for the flower instead. Using the rising sun would have resulted in a circle within an oval....not very recognizable !

Now, as to the piece with the supposed racer car image, I found a web page the other night that featured a chart listing sports events at the 2002 World Cup. There was no mention of a race car event, but I did see cycling. So maybe the one piece that has the image resembling a racer car is actually a designers rendition of a bicycle ! Regardless of which was the intended image, I still stand by my above rationale, that the image in the right hand zero is a representation of a chrysanthemum, rather than a spoked wheel.....just makes more sense !
If I remember correctly, I got to the web page by Googling "2002 FIFA World Cup" (a Wikipedia page) and then clicking on something else. Problem is, I should have made notes and didn't, so can't say exactly how I got to the chart of events.........maybe some of you have already seen it before and kept a record. I believe the web page was tan color, with text and Pictures.

I'm sorry there is no proof here, but maybe something helpful.

Payback for finding the damn racecar.

Hi again !!

To the question about the race car, I got this idea:

Suppose the "nuts" simply illustrate famous sport events in the year 2002.

The car has great similarity with the race cars used at the famous "Le Mans Race" in France.

Here some pictures to compare:

Now my idea is:

You got nuts showing sports and nuts showing the name of the event.

"Word cup" and a soccer ball, basket ball

"Olympic Games" and the olympic games logo (the rings), basketball, soccer ......

AND a nut with the text:

"Le Mans" and the race car

....and so on.

 

[BioProfessor]

The thing that I find "odd" about the car is that the wheels are so large and have no covering and there are no "wings" visible. All the car images I can find with no wings have tires covered and all the open tired ones have wings and none of the tires are that large.

And for my money, the 24 hour endurance race at Le Mans does not rise to the same level of importance as the Olympics or World Cup. South Korea and Japan who co-hosted the 2002 World Cup do have ties to the Olympic games but none that I know of to France.

My 2 cents worth.

Thought I got a good idea there !?!?!

Your a hard man, BP !!

 

[Ralphw]

tough nuts to crack

 

[BioProfessor]

Got that right. I'm not sure what's going to crack first me or the nuts.

[Ralphw]

what is that mark... if anything on the door area?

It would have to be the one with the race car that is missing the end. I guess sometime this next week I'm going to have to go back out there and look for more. First I have got to get the main traffic area of this new field I am doing finished before someone jumps me on it, then I'll go back and continue gridding it off untill I find it, or more. It's like wiping your arse with a wagon wheel, there just aint no end to it.

It matches a Netball logo ball and some say that it the reverse on the nuts - a person shooting in netball.

I thought the ball in the center of the top pic of the new pics was a volleyball...the net ball/basketball is in the bottom pic

OOPS, I got that one backwards. You are right. I'll change it right now.
