The 1943 steel pennies are worth about a dollar each in very good condition If you find a 1943 copper penny, they are worth well over 100,000 dollars. Dwayne

Re: $2.00 Bills
Rob <roomberg@...>
$2 bills is real money. I used to keep a lot of them when I was driving because my turnpike toll one way to work was $2.55 so I would wrap a 50 cent piece and a nickel into a folded triangle made of a $2 bill and hand it to the toll booth guy and drive off with him thinking I short changed him every time. He would look at one paper bill and two coins and be pretty certain that could not be $2.55 and he would hit the alarm bell.... the one that said ...we get to chase you for skipping the toll.
I would also use the $2 bills to tip the waitress
at the Chinese buffet. And of course she would run around showing everybody in the kitchen the fake money someone passed her.... and then the owners approached me and scolded me for fake money. It took a while but they figured it out.

The pennies were mad of steel. As kids we would pick them up with magnets.

This is a little different but my wife had a video showing two young people trying to use a rotary dial phone. We older people would really enjoy the things they went through trying to use the phone they comments from them were great.

Re: ADV: Re: [4SQRP] Important reminder
John Lonigro
I'm starting to be sorry I started all of this. All I wanted to do
was remind people the sprint time has not changed due to DST, as
long as you use your normal clock, not UTC.
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
A little bit of history: Time zones were invented around 1883, in response to the increasing popularity of train travel. Before then, noon local time in each town was when the sun was the highest in the sky. You could use your sundial (on a sunny day) and determine pretty accurately when it was noon. The only problem was, for example, noon in Kansas City didn't occur at the same instant as noon in St. Louis. When train travel became popular, people wanted to know when the train would arrive so they wouldn't miss it. The poor conductor had to reset his watch at virtually every stop. So congress created time zones and the rest of the world soon followed suit. Final reminder: The SSS is coming this Sunday. I won't even attempt to remind you of the time (hi)! 72, John, AA0VE 4SQRP Contest Coordinator

Re: ADV: Re: [4SQRP] Important reminder
I was running a register at Borders books a bunch of years ago, and this girl on the next register took me aside to show me a $2 bill. She wanted to know if we should call security. I asked her why she'd want to do that, and she said, I kid you not, "to catch this counterfeiter, duh!" She tried to argue with me when I told her that $2 bills were real. She finally called the manager, who told her to quit wasting time, $2 bills were real. Just rare.
