    Wives say the darndest things...

    I'm pretty sure that we have a similar thread on kids on this forum. Surely some of you have a story of something funny/naive that your wife has said.

    Mine:



    Today I received the $50 face value silver coins I had ordered from APMEX. I didn't know if it would be dimes, quarters or halves because $ 50 face in any denomination is the same amount of silver.

    Turns out, it was a really cute bank bag looking thing with a ziptie lock on it.

    Anyway.

    I opened it up, wifey was sitting in her chair reading the grocery ad flyer that came today too.

    I said, "Cool. It's dimes. There's some mercury dimes in here, too!"

    At this point... God bless her... She turned and exclaimed......


    "But I thought they were supposed to be silver."


    It took me about 5 minutes to quit laughing long enough to explain it...

    RE: Steel pennies. I've got one about my wife. A few years ago I found a 1943 (think it was an "S") steel cent in a roll of coins. I told my wife and she replied "I collect steel pennies." To which, I, her husband of many years, said "Really? How many do you have?" She replied "Two." You mean two gaylords full or at least two coffee cans full? No, just two. I had to pick myself up off the floor. Her birthday wasn't far off, so I went to the local coin shop and picked up a roll of steel cents for her.

    That seemingly insignificant story is one of my favorite memories of our marriage and we've been all over the world together.
