My friend Dale has a shop that we think was built in 1928. He bought it from the original owners who told him they didn't have rebar back then so they used whatever metal they had lying around - axles, springs, etc. It must have worked OK - there are still no cracks.
Yesterday we noticed a 1919 penny embedded in the concrete slab by the door; we can't tell if it was put there accidentally or on purpose. Has anyone
heard of people putting coins in concrete slabs?
It seems like they would have used coin from the year of the building, but ???
