Dale Earnhardt coin...........

Budmakesmewiser · 24 Jan 2002, 21:25 (Ref:203860)

my uncle told me a couple of days ago that in 2003 or 2004 North Carolina is going to make their new official quarter have Dale Sr on the front,he said that Dale will be the first person besides a president to be on a U.S coin.

YO Bud,
I went to the North Carolina website and also the US Mint website and there is no mention of this coin. Sounds like bogus information to me. Can you tell us where your "Uncle" dreged up this info?

I've seen some dumb coins advertised on TV- They aren't actually currency- just collector items.

Lars · 25 Jan 2002, 02:04 (Ref:203975)

I think Bud is right, I've seen it advertised in a magazine for sale...now if I can remember where???

Roselady3 · 25 Jan 2002, 02:18 (Ref:203979)

I think it was an ad on ESPN. But I still don't think it was real currency.

pretty sure the ad said us mint & it wasn't going to be circulated...I think the us mint has made special un-circulated coins before, but none without a us prez on it.

my uncle is not a huge follower of NASCAR like we are,but he reads everything their is,i think he said that he read it in a NASCAR book and in a newspaper,but he did say that he was for sure that it was going to be an official quarter for North Carolina,thats all i know.

Lars · 25 Jan 2002, 03:22 (Ref:203992)

I found the Ad!!! If anyone wants me to send it to them, PM me with your E-mail addy & I'll send it to you when I get it scanned in. 'Cept you Rosie...not gonna send it to a thorny broad...lol. Bigtime J/K!!! Your the 1st I'll e-mail it to so don't waste your time pm'ing...lol.

Roselady3 · 25 Jan 2002, 03:29 (Ref:203995)

*G*
I won't bother to PM ya about that------->>
But your next PM will contain a nice SMACK for the Thorny Broad comment!

Now what was it that you agreed to call me?
Oh yeah...it was:
"Sweet Smelling Flower Lady"

Lars · 25 Jan 2002, 03:36 (Ref:203997)

Never really agreed...lol...was more like an idle threat to smack me if I didn't. *G*

Racerex · 25 Jan 2002, 03:43 (Ref:203999)

I dont think its a US coin if its the one I saw kinda like the Elvis and Lucy stamps from some obscure island country?

However I hope your uncle is right
My uncle wears ladies undergarmets and has tin foil inside his hat "just in case"

In the first place states don't "make" quarters or any other currency for that matter. Only the US mint can make "official" currency or coins.N.carolina already has it's official quarter.they may take a regular quarter and paint dale earnhardt on it but that's about all they could do.They could also make a collectors coin but it would't be official currency.You couldn't spend it.

Lars · 27 Jan 2002, 21:31 (Ref:205495)

Yeah it's a company that purchased un-circulated "North Carolina" quarters & are painting Dale's pic on them. I seached the BBB's website & found nothing on the company. Also did an engine search and came up with no web site. Did check the yellow pages on the net and there was a listing. Guess, let the buyer beware.

Roselady3 · 27 Jan 2002, 21:35 (Ref:205497)

How much are they asking for this painted on quarter?

dei3fan · 27 Jan 2002, 23:57 (Ref:205573)

I'll give you a dollar for four of em!!

ROTF!
Some companies have come out with some quality collector pieces,the best in limited quantities.Some are just selling junk,out to make a buck off someone elses misfortune and the folks that loved them,not unlike the folks who want to publish the autopsy photos. Also I thought it was illegal to deface official US currency.I guess there must be a loophole.

I remember that because of the close relationship over the years that QVC had with the Earnhardts they suspended all sales of Dales stuff for a period of time after his death untill they got the go ahead from Teresa to resume sales of his stuff.Now that's class.

What is the largest denomination for your coins is it the 25c piece?

In the nearly defunct, Irish coins, for the millenium they brought out a millenium coin, most £1 coins made in 2000 were special millenium coins, totally legal tender.

Sometimes I see the Brits advertise, special coins for the Queen, they did a £5 coin, even though they only have £5 notes, that was legal tender actually. they only made a certain amount to keep it collectable!

Coins cost much much less to make than their 'face value' , so decorating them shouldn't add much to the cost.

Budmakesmewiser · 28 Jan 2002, 01:33 (Ref:205602)

The department of Treasury is responsible for that,but U.S coins can be changed to people of other occupations besides presidents.

The Beer Baron · 28 Jan 2002, 01:46 (Ref:205608)

So Bud, when you become the Trillionaire Tyrant you keep prophecising will we have your mug on a quater

Budmakesmewiser · 28 Jan 2002, 02:32 (Ref:205615)

oh i don't know about mug,but my hansome face a coin or two,i don't like fame much.

The Beer Baron · 28 Jan 2002, 02:34 (Ref:205617)

Bud, ya don' like fame but you're the furure 8 times NASCAR Champion!

dei3fan · 28 Jan 2002, 02:51 (Ref:205621)

We still have half dollar coins in circulation ,a few Susan B.Anthony dollar coins(they never quite caught on) and the new gold colored Dollar coin which I have not personaly used yet but have seen them in the coin tray and the bank. the wierd thing is, because of the drug trade the biggest paper bill is now one hundred dollar bill. We used to have the thousand dollar bill.

Yeah, I've noticed that Roselady, that's why I included the 'ROTF' on there. I was being facetious.
