I found a handful of those and used them in a gumball machine. Was that wrong?
I'm sure the dude that emptied the coins from the machine appreciated it! 😁
I did something similar... thank goodness not quite as historic... on TWO occasions as a moronic little kid who only cared about playing and wrecking and the next distraction... we used a Reggie Jackson autographed baseball (belonged to my new step-dad, basically a gaffe straight out of the movie Sandlot!), and I broke an antique radio by trying to take it apart to see the insides... How I survived beyond the tween years is beyond me.
