Found a nickel with a strange engraving (pic)

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Found a nickel with a strange engraving (pic)

First, I apologize for the poor quality pic. The batteries in my camera were nearly dead when I took it. I pulled some change from my pocket today at work to buy a coke and found this nickel with the symbol of the Masons impressed into George Washington's neck. The letter "G" is in the middle of the symbol. On the reverse side of the coin there is a slight buldge. Has anyone seen this before? Have the Masons been known to put their mark on money?

dont know, but i believe destroying money is a federal crime, i think this would constitute destruction.

Got any fuzzy UFO pics or fuzzy "man wearing cape in cemetary" photos.

Maybe a nice fuzzy bigfoot pic.

You have a nickle with George Washington it?

It's Jefferson

Hard to tell what the symbol is in that pic.

Pretty funny, because the portait on the nickle is Tommy Jefferson not George Washington. George is on the quarter.

they destroy pennies everyday at disneyland. You put one in a machine plus .50 and it forms it into some sort of pressed momento.

Camera shake and failure to understand close-up/macro functionality of your camera is the reason for this shitty picture, not low batteries. Battery charge does not have an analog effect on digital photography. Hell, it looks like the Virgin Mary, or Santa Clause to me, or donkeys flying out of my ass.

Is that nickel moving really fast or is it a really shitty pic?

It's a Masonic plot in conjunction with the Illuminati to obscure the evidence from public scrutiny!

There's nothing to see here, move along...

It's definitely a masonic symbol pressed into the nickle.

I don't understand why you guys can't see it... The pic IS blurry as hell but I know a masonic symbol when I see one.

i can tell it's a Masonic Symbol, i just want a better pic of it.

My eyeteeth make the same mark. Hmmm. Shut-up, self. Giving away the secrets.........

Put one of them on the hologram of a $100 and I will be impressed. Hell, even kiss the pope's ring......

meet me in hell. All my friends will be there. I will buy the first round.

Oh yeah, sell it on Ebay. You buy the first round, I'll buy the second.

That one of them tracking coins the NSA uses to monitor your movements, I'd get rid of it and buy some tinfoil

Its stamped, not engraved. Thus the bulge on the other side.

It's a coin you bribe a cop with to let them know you're a member of the Masons. Duh

It's obviously a trap

Wrong. Altering currency in an attempt to defraud is illegal. Smashing/imprinting etc as long as you are not trying to make a quarter out of a nickel is OK.

BTW, it is a clue to a treasure map.
