File two grooves into one corner and you can drive a #2 Phillips
screw.

I've never seen a Lincoln cent with a corner.

By saying the secret word, you have just tied this thread with "Snowy RCC"
and by posting this, I have just made "Collecting Experience" pull ahead
by one.

I concede that this proves that Reid's coin-related thread was more popular
than my OT one. What a fool...er, idiot...I was to expect otherwise.

File spaced notches along one edge and you have a ruler. File one edge
in
a sharp saw-tooth pattern. With a little imagination you can turn it
into
one of those credit card-sized flat multifunction tools.

Shhhh!!!!!! Shhhh!!!!

The tin-foil hat patrol already knows that there are SECRET
transponders in those TPG slabs, so the federales and the U.N. one-
world goverment will be able to locate and confiscate your valuable
coins when the SHTF!!! Shhhh!!!!!

'Just because you're paranoid DOESN'T mean that they're NOT out to get

Well, now you've blown it, oly. Up until now we had plausible
deniability. Why don't you just go ahead and reveal that the transponders
in those slabs can be disabled by swiping them across those magnetic
gizmos at check-out counters that unlock the security tags on clothing.
Cripes. Nearly a billion in covert op expenditures goes down the toilet
with one UseNet post.

Not to worry. I read recently that most thinking people have left Usenet.

Ah, yes, he must have the Magic Touch. None of my coin posts ever garners
much traffic. I think there's a message in there somewhere, but I have no
idea what it might be.

There must be an option out there that would let a slabbed Lincoln store
and play I-Tunes. A slab fitted with a micro GPS transponder could be
sold and the seller could follow its travels.

Now that would be a killer app! By including a tagged coin in every box
or bag of Mint releases we could build a geo-tagged database that would
end once and for all the controversies about the distribution and current
locations of various coin issues.

Oh, nuts... never mind. This is rcc. Make it "that would give collectors
in underserved areas never-ending fodder to complain about what's not
showing up in their change". :-I

Or... we could play "GPS coin tag," the idea being to document the
coordinates of the non-tagged coin that has traveled the farthest from any
databased GPS location of boxes that coin. Kind of like the contest that
Coca cola had in the 1960s when bottles still has their city of
manufacture stamped on the bottom. Winner was the farthest from your
local bottling plant's location. I think Cairo took the prize in my
area - probably brought in a diplomatic pouch by someone in State
Department.


Wouldn't GPS coin tag be similar to what Foursquare does? I don't want to
see you get into any trouble.

in 1986 toyota dropped the celica-supra label and made the supra a sporty
car.
i have an 86 1/2, which has a dual overhead cam, fuel injected 6 banger,
the
good toyota 5 speed and great looking body. mine has all the options
except
turbo and everything works. even the rear defogger.
it has 200 hp without the turbo, 230 with. it's a real kick in the ass to
drive. it isn't a drag racer, it get power form 2000 rpm up.
the late 70's were great cars too. after mid 90's, it became a vette clone
with prices to match. now it's a really expensive exotic.
mine has 200,000 miles and runs great.
lucky me!

Huh. The 78-79 "Celica Supra" was a sporty car. In fact, your description
matches mine. In the early 1980s the Celica went to more of luxury sedan.
Maybe they had split the "Supra" off from the Celica line by 1986. For me
it was a very good compromise from the Detroit beasts.

I guess I don't have to tell you to hang onto yours!
