Odd items in your tip cup?

[Joe Smith]

Alright so forgive me if this topic has already been started but, what are the three weirdest/coolest things someone has dropped into your tip cup? For me it was

1.Chuck E Cheese token
2.$100
3. A small coin shaped piece of metal which had the outline of an angel on top. Above the angel it said "a guardian angel, sent to watch over you"

I got a 2 dollar bill once, that was pretty sweet since I happen to collect them. =]

1. Pack of really amazing cigarettes that actually I switched to later.
2. Q-tips
3. Whole Foods Coupons
4. A fake old Chinese coin that I superstitiously carried around with me for like, a week, for "good luck"

I should probably start collecting them. Nothing odd ever ends up in our tip jar, but we have a regular that gets a large coffee every day and ALWAYS pays with odd currency - a quarter plus either a $2 bill, 2 Sacajawea dollars, 2 Susan B Anthony dollars. Same thing every time, and he doesn't take change, so he is in and out in literally 30 seconds. I've timed it. Nice guy though.

My aunt dropped some sort of Mexican coin in there several months ago - about the same size as a quarter, but with a gold center. We leave it in the jar for luck, and have actually caught someone using it to buy his coffee. He reached in when we weren't looking and didn't notice it wasn't a quarter. Cashier: "Hey, that's funny, we have one just like this in the tip jar" Customer: "Not anymore".

The shop I used to work had the tip jar stolen more often than cool things being in there.

1. I've had coins from the barbados and kuwait.
2. Michaelangelo-Ninja turtle =P

Someone bought us shrimp once, but they didn't put it in the tip jar.

I need to start by saying the coffee shop I work in is located inside a high end grocery store.

Most recently I was tipped in a wedge of really expensive aged parmesan reggiano. Quite tasty actually. Both nutty and fruity.
