Have you ever found coin in interesting/weird place?

Today my sister (who works at a supermarket) found this commemorative silver 5 pengő from 1938 in the self-service checkout cash register. Somebody throwed in, but stucked in the register (obviously, in Hungary we use a totally diferrent coins at present) and the next customer couldn't use.

Have. 50 Cents in a toilet bowl. Had to flush it and took it out, wash it again and spend it.

I know it's not a coin but I was metal detecting for coins at the time , I seriously thought I had found a gold bar buried 10 cms down between two tree roots, it turned out to be a bar of chocolate in a gold foil wrap!
What was weird/interesting ( after the initial disappointment had dispersed.. 😂 ) was that we had just had 2 huge heatwaves in the same summer ( in the 40's!! ) and it was immaculate even though the paper wrapper has disintegrated!
Sorry that wasn't a coin story. 🙂🙃😉👍😂

My chickens dug up a Napoleon III 1855 5 centimes coin in their run ..that was the day they won their freedom 12 years ago to use the whole garden, we have moved house since then and they now have one and a half acres to dig about in and this is the result ( below )
Chickens are worth their weight in ( erm.. silver here! 🤣 ) they dug up a pre French revolution stamp/seal and a 1916 silver 50 centimes.
Who says chickens are dumb! 😍🤣

Great story "Lindylou" & welcome to Numista!

Why thank you kind sir😄....( I'm presuming that you're a sir, because I read a thread on the forum earlier today that said that there were only 3 ladies here ...gasp! 😲, never?! lol!).

I have a story to tell about women and collecting, but maybe later! 🙂😉👍

​That was probably a nerdy joke & yes I'm a man (not so sure about the kind sir part but I try to play nice on these forums).

On my first coin show I think I saw about 3 women in the entire bourse! Fortunately, things have changed (& I will never forget seeing an attractive coin dealer & trying not to stare, nor bumping into others ).

Looking forward to your collecting stories! 👍

no nerdy joke, ( I am an 'older lady' and collect my pension in 4 years and 7 weeks! ) and in my day we meant it when someone was welcoming towards us gals! I tried to post a pic of me like you guys have next to your name but it didn't work, technophobe here. 😉 👍

In the 'My account settings' section it says ...

and your picture is 200px x 239px and 13.1 kB
so I reduced the size and this below should now work as an avatar ...

Thank you ZacUK, I really appreciate that! you're a star! 😁👍👍👍🤩
