Thread: Jews Squabble Over What Else? GOLD!

http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/lookout/...151853030.html

A jeweler's heirs are fighting the United States government for the right to keep a batch of rare and valuable "Double Eagle" $20 coins that date back to the Franklin Roosevelt administration. It's just the latest coin controversy to make headlines. Philadelphian Joan Langbord and her sons say they found the 10 coins in 2003 in a bank deposit box kept by Langbord's father, Israel Switt, a jeweler who died in 1990. But when they tried to have the haul authenticated by the U.S. Treasury, the feds, um, flipped.

The government has long believed that Switt schemed with a corrupt cashier at the Mint to swipe the coins. They note that the deposit box in which the coins were found was rented six years AFTER Switt's death, and that the family never paid inheritance tax on the coins.

The rare gold coins are estimated to be worth as much as $80 million. The article also says the father, Israel Switt, was convicted of gold-related schemes in 1944 and had his license to deal in scrap gold revoked.

The REAL question is WHICH JEW will end up with the coins?

Perpetual Scribes and Pharisees.

(I've forgotten the question part of the riddle, if anyone remembers it.)

I thought the answer was "a penny in the corner of a circle"
