Yesterday, I was helping Jay load two worn out washers and one broken dryer. With the one machine, pocket change started dropping out of the bottom, onto the ground!
Of course, I did pick it up and we joked about making another $1.50 for recycling these old appliances:) One coin was a 1972 Kennedy half dollar! I was happy to retrieve this old coin, now it's inside my jewelry box:)
I told Jay what I'd found, which made him smile:)
He already has one somewhere in a drawer.

I had one too until the burglars came 3 years ago.

@kobesbuddy I'm sure you were. I haven't seen one of those in years.

They were plentiful back in the 70s. Now, we don't see them very often.

That's a good find. We have quite a few. You can't get them anymore. People are hoarding them. Enjoy your day.
