I've never heard of that, Brian...
but if I ever turn anything that I'm willing to admit to, I'll put a
penny in it..
Hell, the way the US$ is headed, maybe I need a bit for putting
quarters in..

Used to solder a
new penny to the new copper roofs. No-one ever sees them, until the roof fails,
and they haven't yet. Tom>

Ugly? I brought back an example of every coin from vacation, because I
liked them more than our euros.

I glue a business card inside my suff, that has an inside that is.
Where it's not easily noticeable, with the month and year. Number any
duplicates for some reason.

No, but I will.

I put a $2.00 bill in a place where it will only be seen if work is
taken apart. I sign and date it. Have them behind the built in cabinets
in the shop. Under the W to W carpet in front room. Just for fun. One
under some molding on a Grandmother clock. If I ever REALLY need some
money.......!

Heehee, that reminds me of the pornography we hid under some of the new roofs
we installed! Might be considered "vintage" in another 30 years. Tom

I used some metal letter stamps to punch in my initials and the date.

I carve dates and initials into mine. Our coins are too ugly - I
believe Becksvoort uses silver dollars, which are a bit more
attractive.

No, but I like it. You can have steel stamps wi th your name (or
anything else) engraved on it from Brownells, the gun parts supplier.
These are supposed to be used for stamping gun barrels, so obviously
they work fine for pounding into wood. Years ago, I had a guy make a
custom stamp with my first name and last initial engraved into a hunk
of steel. It works only on end grain, but looks exactly like the
stamps used by old wooden plane makers.
