Resolved Question: Shopping???
Tired of constantly being broke, and stuck in an unhappy marriage, a young husband decided to solve both problems by taking out a big insurance policy on his wife (with himself as the beneficiary), and arranging to have her killed. A "pal of a pal" put him in touch with a nefarious, underworld figure, who went by the name of "Artie." Artie explained to the husband that his going price for snuffing out a spouse was 5,000 quid. The husband said he was willing to pay that amount, but that he wouldn't have any cash on hand until he could collect his wife's insurance money. Artie insisted on being paid SOMETHING up front. The man opened up his wallet, displaying the single pound coin that rested inside. Artie sighed, rolled his eyes, and reluctantly agreed to accept the quid as down payment for the dirty deed. A few days later, Artie followed the man's wife to the local ASDA. There, he surprised her in the produce department, and proceeded to strangle her with his gloved hands. As the needy unsuspecting lady drew her last breath, and slumped to the floor, the manager of the produce department stumbled unexpectedly onto the scene. Unwilling to leave any witnesses behind, Artie had no choice but to strangle the produce manager as well. Unknown to Artie, the entire proceedings were captured by hidden cameras and observed by the store's security guard, who immediately called the police. Artie was caught and arrested before he could leave the store. below intense questioning at the police station, Artie revealed the sordid plan, including his financial arrangements with the hapless husband. And that is why, the next day in the newspaper, the headline declared: (It's a beauty) (It's a beauty honest) "ARTIE CHOKES TWO FOR A POUND AT ASDA."

Open Question: are the people collecting the coins also killing our economy?
You have the state Quarter and president Dollar coins. For every coin, people collect that one coin is not going in circulation .take the state quarters if there are 100 million people collecting the quarter like 50 states that is 500 million quarter taken out of circulation which is $125,000,000 not going into circulation. Then we have 34 presidents if there were 100 million people collecting those that would be $3,400,000,000 not being circulated, and that number will go up with every new president.

Resolved Question: You find Hidden Treasures - What would you do?????
You and a mate go on a hiking trip through the local forest. You've been walking for a few hours and cease for a relax by a quick moving river. Looking down through the crystal clear water, something catches your eyes, something glistening. You bend down to examine it more closely, to discover that its an old coin. On further inspection, u notice deeper in the river it's covered with coins - your'e wealthy! Excitedly u tell your pal what you've found, but he seems less glad. He tells u of an old legend that his grandmother once told him. The coins belong to a Water Spirit that lives in the river. The coins are used to tempt people into the water. When u go in to collect them, she rises from the water and pulls you down and holds you below until u drown. It could be just an old wives tale. But do you trust him? Part of u wonders if he just wants them for himself. Would you go into the river to collect the treasure, or would you trust your pal and leave them?

I am selling my most valued possession, my soul. I am a bit attached to it, but times are difficult right now and with the extra coin, I could score a Big mac. My soul is not tainted,possessed or already promised to the devil. In fact it is free of sin. I just confessed this morning! I have typed out a legal binding contract to hand over my soul once I am deceased. So,once I am dead, the proprietor of this contract will have legal rights to my soul. You will have to collect the soul yourself, for I wont be able to assist. If you are not well versed in this, I suggest hiring professionals. Try the Ghost Busters or a shaman, I cant be held responsible if my soul ascends or descends somewhere before it can be captured. It is as I stated over in very good condition. I think a fair price would be 10 dollars or the next best offer. Anyone interested?

Would drug stores sell these? Or maybe someone has advice on the Coinstar machine? (I don't really have that big of an amount of coins...I'm thinking the rolls of coins would be the best way to receive rid of my loose change that's collecting). Does the Bank offer them for free? Nice...99 cent stores are a great idea. Thanks!

I will be greatly appreciative if you can tell me what you think, just a guess, please, you can look the coin here..

Could anyone please translate the following from English into Chinese for me? "What really makes my pal unique are his individual quirks. For example, he loves to collect coins from foreign countries. Every time I go overseas, I have to send some coins back to my pal. Over the years, he has built up a huge collection of coins from many places - from Germany to Taiwan (his home country.) I bet that one day he will be very wealthy!" Thanks in advance.
