So I went to the Mermaid Day parade yesterday and I thought I'd just say how zany and bizarre some of the outfits were since I didn't think I was going to find anything unusual.
Well, I got upstaged.
At the Coney Island station on the F train as I walking down the ramp to exit the station, I saw a coin. It was faded grey and I thought it looked like an odd dime.
I picked it up and saw that it was foreign....truly foreign. The inscription was "Confoederatio Helvetica" and on the back it simply had 5.
When I got home, I found out that I had picked up a coin worth 5 Swiss centimes. The date on the coin was from 1966. Bizarre....just like the parade.
