"Niggardly" is one of those words that has fallen from common usage among the general populace and hackles get raised on the easily offended.

Kind of like a guy who raises dogs talking about the bitch he bred the other night right when a feminist walks by...  :lol:

You have hope for humanity?

I gave up on humanity a long time ago.

Online you can kill them with the block button and never have to deal with them again.

In person, that sort of thing is generally frowned upon.

Has anyone found any unusual or rare coins when picking up change?

I found a handful of Kennedy half dollars in a creek once.  =)

Yes indeed I have! I found, I kid you not, an American 1988 1/2oz gold coin. Some moron literally threw it on the ground after getting it in change. It was scratched up, sure, but... it's gold. Who cares?  =D

I refer to you people, when I must refer to you at all, as "those people that live in my computer." 

How do all you guys fit in this thing?

Trans-dimensional tunneling. If you were to open up your computer and look at it through the fifth dimension you'd find it's full of holes rather like Swiss cheese.

In a roundabout way, yes.  I went to use the Coinstar machine, and when I was done, I stuck my hand down in the coin return slot as usual.  The previous user had dumped 21 silver dollars in the machine, which it does not accept.  I did leave a note with customer service that I had found them, but never heard anything back.  They're still in my coin collection.  =)

I like to save old coins...
Anything 70s on back I hang onto for some reason.  Got a few that were made in the 30s and 40s.

I understand "black hole" translates into Russian as an obscenity . . .
