JOHANNESBURG, S. Africa (Reuters) -- A South African woman mistakenly plunked a 100-year-old gold coin worth more than $1,000 into a parking meter while shopping without her glasses, a newspaper reported on Wednesday.
Hmm, reminds me of the time I put in a 20 dollar ticket into a 25 dollar box at a Chinese auction I was at last year. They wouldn't let me take it out. Yep, this is definitely the same way that woman must feel (insert sarcasm here please). I am still smarting from that experience...
