Those stories will remain with us for the rest of our lives and they will always carry a value coins bought from a dealer or unknown source will never have. Darn it, now I have to add Franks to my list of things to do!
Title: Re: BREAKFAST AT FRANKS Post by: Nighthawk on April 04, 2010, 01:27:16 AM Mrs. Nighthawk & I have been regulars there now for breakfast for close to 3 months or so, every Saturday morning, and a couple of times for dinner during the week. We got all those waitresses I think, interested in foreign coins & paper money. Today I left 3 Irish 1/2 pennies (along with my tip, of course!) for Dorey, and I have been giving Lydia world notes to help her start a paper money collection of her own. The girls are thrilled every time we leave them with something like that. It makes me enjoy my hobby even more! :)
