Today, I discovered that the ancient looking coin I dug up in my front yard is worth hundreds of dollars. Too bad I found that coin when I was eight years-old, and have since misplaced it. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my life is so boring that I started looking through my can of coins and sorting them out by year. The oldest coin I have is from 1963. FML
Today, I came home to find that my mother had sold all my valuable collector coins for cheap at a local shady pawn shop to buy herself a TV. The coins in question were worth enough to start a business. FML
Today, I was cleaning my apartment when I found a €20 note underneath the sofa cushion. I was pretty happy until I remembered I'd lost €20 a few days earlier and spent an hour looking for it. I'd finally found my own money and felt lucky about it. FML
Today, I found my missing wedding band inside my 2-year old's pull up. It was accompanied by two coins, a Hot Wheels car, a pebble, and a dead bug. FML
Today, I found a $10 bill on the ground. I got so excited and felt like I was the richest person alive. That was, until the wind blew it out of my hand, never to be seen again. FML
Today, I got home and found my kids playing with my coin collection. My wife told me to stop being grouchy because it’s not like they’re silver and gold. No, but they were all mint condition, some of them very rare, and every scratch the kids just put on them has halved their value or worse. FML
Today, after I found gold coins a few years ago, nothing newsworthy but enough to pay off my parents' mortgage, some landowning douche, who is already a millionaire, is now claiming the lake where I found the coins is his, and is suing me for the coins' full value. If I lose in court, my parents may have to sell their house. FML
Today, I found a wallet on the sidewalk and spent an hour tracking down the owner. When I finally returned it, he opened it, counted the cash in front of me, and asked if I was sure there hadn't been more money in it. FML
Today, I was emptying a bag of grass from my lawn mower when I saw pieces of what used to be a 50 dollar bill. FML
Today, I found out that my mom found a paper with my long lost username and password to an old crypto wallet with 17 bitcoins. She'd thrown it in the garbage bin before realising what it was. The bin was empty when I went running to check it. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Today, after weeks of searching, I finally found a priceless coin I had previously lost. Turns out it was just a really rusted over penny. FML.

When I was a kid I was constantly digging our front yard to find a treasure. All I got was a rusty piece of metal. I was very happy though.

That's not even that bad, unless you're depserate for money. Since it's been years you can't really regret it.

I need to know what I stand to win. Everything. You stand to win everything. You mean like hundreds of dollars? Um... no, I meant your... I hope it's a puppy. Oh how I love p- I'm going to kill you if you get it wrong.

I'm sorry for my lame joke. I watched No Country For Old Men last night and it's still thick in my veins. I'll try harder next time.
xdust 4
Ha ha! I just watched No Country For Old Men too. I got that right away. Good comment no matter what people rate it, they are just not cultured enough to get it.

Just move on, coin collecting is so boring anyways.
stormchaser24 24
No it is not. I have a 1992 US penny worth 1000. I got it back as change. It is a fun hobby. Better than being on FML all day.
gntfmlingnow 12
24, I'm intrigued, how was a 92 penny worth so much, when it isn't that old even. I've got a pile of 50's pennies thats only worth like two bucks total

Some times there's an error in the minting, like stuff stamped twice or upside down. If there's only a few of those errors, the coins can be worth a lot, even if it's a new coin. Of course, sometimes they do this on purpose to encourage collecting.

Lol so boring.

I don't collect coins, but I do happen to have a few foreign ones. It's kinda cool, they come in different shapes and everything.
stormchaser24 24
Yeah it is a mule. Double die
Alexunited1212 2
Yeah I have been collecting for only a 2 weeks and have collected 3 war nickels and 2 1913 mercury dimes. That's worth about 300 bucks in all. All I have been doing is paying in cash for smaller purchases and looking through my change, so I think it is totally worth it, definitely in this economy!

Dude, u totally deserved it you see a weird looking coin which looks old and you do not keep it safe in wait for the coin collectors to value it?
RedPillSucks 33
He did say he was eight at the time. Totally understandable. OP, just move on. There's nothing you can do about it now.
Enigmax2514 7
Oh right sorry din read that part, I thought he found it 8 years ago
