Summary: 

What Goes Around Comes Around!!

First Name: Arabesque
Profile:I guess my dad could have been one of the first Where's George guys. When he came across his first 1921 Canadian .50 piece (his birth year), he scratched his initials on it and spent it. It came back a couple months later. He tried to hang onto it but that was difficult during the depression. Anyone out there seen a 1921 .50 with GK scratched on it??? It was my dad's (and apparently now very valuable, not many minted to begin with!).

I captured 2 wild willies before deciding to register when I found my third. Curious to see how much cash I actually use in this era of the debit card. Hey, may even scrap the plastic altogether! (Making a serious attempt on the credit cards, they should be gone soon. Watch for an update on that! Options MC - gone!) It'll be interesting...

This is me in a stealth world.
