en UsterDay72 Your First Time (on topic :) and long rec.collecting.coins https://groups.google.com/g/rec.collecting.coins/c/WVkToeLL4Cc/m/A4J93DjBppMJ 2023-01-03 Oct 9, 2002 When I was 4 years old, my mother saved dimes, mostly Mercury Dimes, and periodically rolled them and took them to the bank. At that age, I once swallowed a Merc as I awoke from a nap after having spilled the contents of my piggy bank on to my bed. I woke up with something in my mouth and half asleep, I swallowed it...painful though it was and I can still remember it vividly 53 years later!
