@reidlulz thank you for letting me know, I'll update it with an Internet Archive link
Have you considered magnet fishing / metal detecting? You could find some rare coins this way

Hmm I don't think you'd be able to pick up any silver/gold coins is the only thing, but it'd def be fun to try some day!

I don't know how it works but, wouldn't detectors spot gold/silver coins? I guess magnets won't though

good discovery (i'll keep this in mind next time i head over to walshart), but i'm wondering how the hell the American Mind is usually too stupid to figure out which coins go into what slots in machinery anymore.
i also spent an hour unjamming coins from an arcade machine that only takes speciality/branded coins because people put quarters to nickels in the slots. fuck's in the water these days
@feelingmachine ngl I'm guilty of this too, in Japan I put a 100 Yen coin in a 500 Yen gacha and it jammed the damn thing. The sense of shame I felt was immeasurable
i mean i'm assuming you also don't live here. i'm talking abt people who've lived their entire lives in the US and still have no idea about what seems to be the basics.
@feelingmachine idk if it's just an american thing but theres the tendency by some people to just break or destroy any publicly available thing like that, I remember so many of the school computers missing keys people yanked off or how fucked up controllers would get on game console kiosks
