[Shotimes] Interesting coin on eBay

[Jon Heese]

Yeah, that's another reason I question it's meaningfulness...  I reckon 
some rogue company/individual decided that it would be profitable to 
stamp a Taurus on a piece of cheap coin stock (does it remind anyone 
else of those penny smasher machines at the fair?) and sell it for $20 
on eBay.  I wouldn't be surprised to see 5 more of these on eBay with a 
Mustang, Tbird, F-series, Crown Vic, maybe even a Focus or an
Escort.  It's not as though anyone's claiming Ford commissioned the 
minting of these or anything.

Regards,
Jon Heese
