I was watching a movie on Netflix last night (The American Hobo) and
some hobo nickels were shown. I looked into it and found some

Never heard of it before! Interesting web site. I remember many hobos
from the 1940's. I was born 1939. I remember one gave me a bag of hard
candy. Mom always said not to take anything from strangers, so I hid
the candy for many months, then tried a piece. Was real candy and
didn't kill me, so I ate the rest! Wish they waould have given me one
of the carved nickels!

Thanks. Paul
