I collect Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars -- always have. Probably due to loving them when I was a little kid and how there's nothing about them that could ever let me down.
When I was up in Santa Ynez at Santa Ynez Days, there was a bin that had cars -- three for a dollar. Now, I don't go for the common, regular ones. I go for upscale models or weird ones. Like this little snowmobile I got.
Today as I was moving them over, I heard a rattling inside of one. I tried opening it -- I tried doing this before with no luck. I figured, if there's money in there, what the hey.
I got a letter opener to pry the back up and three weird coins shook out.
1960 3 Pence piece
1964 6 Pence piece
1940 Farthing piece (I thought it said earthling, then I thought it said farthing)
It's random and cool as hell that this happened. I don't think these are really worth all that much but it is very cool to have something so random like this happen.
