What's the strangest thing you've ever gotten back in change?

Doug - I've still got a stash of Morgans, Peace Dollars, etc. from my collecting days.  When I was a kid I'd go to the bank and go through penny rolls for "wheaties".  Cool stuff!  At one time I had a complete uncirculated set of Lincoln pennies from 1909 on.  The only circulated ones were 1914-D and 1955 Double Die.  Those were still nice AU condition.  Young man's life got in the way though...

In 78 I did a job for a young lady and she didn't have enough to pay the bill
I took a Saint Barnard puppy in trade for the balance.
Wasn't to sure about this but she really needed a car and I did not need a dog.
Worked out great, she stayed with me 17 years before she died.[ The dog not the young lady]

Coins and stamp collector before a young man life got in the way. Best way to explain my old stamp and coin collection.

Thank's for that WConley.

When I was 14, I worked for a guy who owned his own business.  One of his quirks was to give $2 bills and wheat pennies as change.  Always.  It was sort of a marketing gimmick- they see the $2 bill and remember exactly where they got it. 

But, strangest I ever received was a $5 that someone had done some artwork on.  It was expertly and masterfully done, but was so horribly inappropriate that I could never hand it to a cashier.  It was obviously meant to offend anyone who saw it, but I just laughed.  I shoved that thing in a self-checkout first chance I got.

It was a very strange time in '67.
