loose change...
After recounting a tale of a friend baby brother eating a penny when little and having to get multiple x-rays to check the penny-progress until expelled, then his mother keeping it and putting it into a goldchain for the child's 18th birthday, local barman stated this was impossible. Drunkenly I flipped a 50 pence piece in air and swallowed it. Barman thought this was an ellaborate trick, and in my state I forgot about it. Week or so later, sitting on the pan reading paper I heard a "kerching" from the toilet. With the assistance of marigolds, I retrieved the 50 pence, went to the same pub, requested a pint and paid barman with money including the 50 pence. As he walked away I asked if he remembered me eating the coin, he said he still thought it was bullshit so I asked him if he didn't agree the 50 pence in his hand was one of the shiniest he'd ever seen, causing him to freak. This should have been the great ending of the tale except I told someone this story a few weeks ago and they didn't believe me either so I repeated the coin swallowing. No sign of anything yet... : (

The moose club
At uni, we have a drinking club called the moose club. To be initiated, a member of the club swallows a penny. The only way to get out is to get your penny back.

(It's mainly to do with drinking hands - upon joining you nominate a hand. If another member ever sees you drinking with your other hand, they point at you and shout "MOOSE". You must buy them a drink.)
