[quote:Anonymous Coward 1323926:MV81NzEyMjNfMjM3MzczNTRfMTUyRUE1Mjc=] I have received a Silver Quarter in my change 3 times over the last 15years. Once was from a soda vending machine at my job. Once I cashed a check at my bank and as the teller put the change in my hand, I heard that familiar *ping*. The teller started to reach into my hand and I just closed it. He said "let me see". I pulled away, but showed him. He knew, I knew. He said, "looks like you have one there". You can bet he went through the rest of his change drawer as soon as I left ! The third time was just last August. I recognized it on sight. An uncirculated 1960 Silver Quarter. I'll bet some kid broke into Daddy's coin collection as it was definitly uncirculated. In the 1980s, I worked at a fast food place while in High School. I have at least 5 Silver Certificate $1 bills from the 1930s and a Red Letter $2 bill from those days. Kids would obviously raid Daddy's coin collection on their way to the mall. I was only too happy to exchange them for a newer one from my own wallet after they walked away. The Silver coins are worth the most naturally, but do not discount a kids ability to find ANY sort of loose change around the house and spend it back into circulation !!! [/quote]
Original Message
Anyone care to share their experiences?
Will rolled coins from a local bank (in a busy city) contain any?
