  9. My 9 year old son and I found an Indian Head cent roll searching a few months ago. Cost was one cent. Not bad for a 115 year old coin. Other than roll searching, see if any of your local coin dealers has a bargain bin. :smile TC

    The coin shop I go to regularly has undated buffalo nickels for 10 cents each. They also have a junk bin. My 5 year old son goes there with me and he searches for coins in the junk bin while I'm shopping They give him 2-5 free coins each time I go there. I usually spend less than $5/trip.

    If you can attend a show or convention that has a YN program you can get all sorts of free goodies by attending the event.

    If you want free coins, search vending machines and the area around them! ;)

    Reach your hand on the top of the machine right in front. A lot of people put change up there for some reason!?!? I work for a company that has hundreds of vending machines.
