Greetings, community. I figured that I’ll have some fun and make some numismatic-related memes, just for the fun of it. I’ll start. For your amusement, enjoy.

Everybody is welcomed to chip in ones they saw/made. :banana-dreads:

Thanks for adding some humor to our somewhat dry hobby. They "strike" something within me that makes me smile!
Keep up the good work.

Not a meme, but some humor.

I wrote this awhile back for a humerous coin story contest on another forum:

A Whole Half Dime
by Earle42
Half_Dime_Pic.jpg
Yes... that’s me. No...I don’t have dirt on my face. If you look carefully at the picture of my REV side, you will notice I have this awful plug going all the way through my head that sticks out through my “tail.” The only upside to my plight is no one can ever say I am not worth a plugged nickel.

So how did this happen to me? I know. Most people guess I had a hole drilled through me to be put on a charm bracelet (more like harm bracelet considering what it would do to a coin). But my problems stem from an almost deaf, elderly gentleman who used me to pay for... but I am getting (ahem) ahead of myself.

The year was 1860, and I was only a few years old. I found out how truly strange the humans who made me could be. The man behind “The Incident,” Mr. Ima N. Olgeezer, was no exception. However, a little background is still needed to fully understand my story.

At some time in prior history, someone living somewhere thought it would be a good idea to spend all day in the hot sun picking weeds and leaves. Then they wasted another day sorting all of the brush and laying each piece of plant out in that same hot sun! Why do this, you ask? The humans wanted to see how long it would take for the sun to crumple and totally dehydrate the leaves.

After days of working at this plant-killing task, more manpower was spent in gathering the now-worthless plant material into small bundles, and these lunatics would...get this...try to reverse the entire dehydration process by trying to put the water back into the crumpled, dead, leaves/weeds! They thought by pouring boiling water on them, that everything would be put back to normal!

It gets worse. What did they do with all the dead, newly-made-soggy, leftover plant material they worked so hard to dry out? Why, they throw it away of course!

However, even this was not the end of their ridiculous ritual. The height of human insanity had not yet been reached! Do you know what the humans did with the now-tainted, discolored, waste-water the leaves failed to absorb? Well, naturally...they poured it down their throats! They called this weird ritual “making tea.”

This “making tea” habit had become all the rage. Soon though, people got tired of working in the hot sun during the first couple of steps and sought a way to skip to the rehydrate-the-leaves part of their lunacy.

One day a brilliant idea snuck up on a man named Calabacious Theodore Leeber (who went simply by Ted... can you blame him?). The brilliant idea explained to Ted that people would come from all over and trade him their valuable coinage if he would give them his excess dehydrated plant remains! Since silver for dead leaves seemed a pretty smart trade, Ted opened a store where he sold four different types of tea. Below is a picture of the actual bins where Ted kept his brand name of “Whole Leaf Tea” bundles.
Tea_bins.jpg
Ted priced the teas according to how exotic they were. Per small bundle, some whole tea leaves were 2 cents, some 3 cents, some were (equal to my value of) a half dime, and the rarest type of whole tea leaves were a dime per bundle (which you can see by looking at the prices at the bottom of the bins).

Now back to Mr. Olgeezer: One day Ima had a hankering to buy some whole tea leaves, grind them up (sometimes humans added this step since it seemed a fun thing to do), rehydrate them, and then throw them away.

Upon arriving at Ted’s store, Ima followed the required procedure. A customer was supposed to copy the name of the item they wanted onto an order slip, and then present the slip to Ted at the checkout counter. Before retrieving items on the list, Ted made it a habit to read each order slip out loud to the customer so no mistakes would be made.

Ima only wanted a bundle of whole tea leaves that day, so he filled out the small order and gave it to Ted. The following conversation took place (remember Ima was hard of hearing).

Ted: Howdy, Mr. Olgeezer. How are you today? I hope everything with you is fine!
Ima: What’s that, Sonny? Oh... time… time... yeah...uh...‘bout half pas’ noon.

Ted: No, Ima, I was saying I hope you are doing well.

Ima: Nope Ted, sorry, cain’t set a spell, ah needs tuh git home. If’n there be any tax on this, whadduh ah owes yuh?

Ted: Uh, yeah. OK, let’s check your order slip (reading the list out loud), whole leaf tea - half dime bundle.

Ima: What’s that? Speak up, Sonny!

Ted: I said, whole leaf tea
.
Ima: Holes in my teeth? No, I don’t think so... .

Ted: No. I was just reading what you wrote here.

Ima: Hear? Hear?! Yer right! I cain’t hear nuthin’ you be flappin’ yer gums about! Yell louder. Whuddah ah owes yuh, tax n’ all?
Ted: No tax, and you only ordered, oops, I mean...(stops, methodically lays the order on top of the counter where Ima can see it, points to each word and yells loudly)... WHOLE LEAF, C. TED LEEBER, TEA... HALF DIME
Ima: Well...if’n yuh says so. Git me a hammer ‘n’ small nail.

Ted: Um... (Ted decided it was easier to just give him the hammer and nail instead of trying to continue talking).
Ima: Dun weirder thangs ah guess...

Then it happened! Ima laid me on the counter, put the nail on my head and WHAM!

Ima: Here be thuh “HOLEY SEATED LIBERTY HALF DIME” yuh asked fer. Cain ah have muh tea now?

*sigh*


Oh...How did I get plugged up?

Well... mainly allergies.
