Silver in Change

I thought this one would be very interesting...When was the last time you received a coin with any silver content in change during a normal business transaction? And what was it?
For me it was about 2 and half years ago at a gas station...got a 1962 dime...neat story behind that actually...but anyway, would love to hear from others.

Probably from Radio Shack about 2 years ago. I left there with like 18 silver dimes. I recieved 1 in change, and my friend also received one so I was suspicious. I asked if the cashier had any old dimes in the register and he gave me them all (for face). That was a good day.

 

I once received like 6 dollars in singles and one was a Silver Certificate!

 

1964 Roosevelt Dime about a year ago.

 

So far we have Radio Shack (with a major haul) and a gas station....just trying to keep up with WHERE they come from...ie. gas station, Burger King...whatever. Just for fun of course

 

Mine was at the grocery store.

 

Last silver was about 3 years ago. Got a quarter then about 2 weeks later I got a dime. It had been about 2-3 years before that since I got anything, so it was strange to get 2 so close together

 

Where did you receive these?

 

About three years ago I was in an auto parts store. The young cashier dropped my change and I heard the familiar ring of silver. He apologized and said that is probably fake and offered me a different quarter. Told him the quarter he dropped suited me just fine.

Then Memorial Day this year I was on vacation with the family at the beach and received a very worn liberty head nickel from an oceanside watering hole. Wasn't silver but was certainly the coolest coin I ever received in change.

 

Quarter was from the supermarket. The dime may have been from a local convenience store or Coffee place. I'm pretty certain that the quarter was a 1964. The dime was from the early 50's. I seem to remember 52-D but I'm not certain. It's been awhile

 

Well it is not a business transaction but when I went to my local bank, the teller said that she had something for me. so I went over to see what it was. and there sat 26 silver certificates, I was thrilled, my dad had drove there so I split them with him. The teller said that the elderly lady that had these needed money and had these in here basement so she cashed them in. I hope to find more like that find one day, that is for sure. I also know that paddyman98 would like this.

 

quarter from a 7-11.

No idea of the date, it was about 5 years ago

 

I got a 1922 Peace Dollar in change from Taco Bell back in 2012.

 

Get Out!!!! That is totally cool. You win, hands down. Thread closed....

 

You are my new hero, sir. That seems less likely then winning the mega millions or Powerball or whatever its called. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I would love to meet the individual who bought a 89cent taco with a FRIGGIN PEACE DOLLAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SMH

 

I still carry it as one of my pocket pieces.

 

my ex-girlfriend found a silver quarter in the Coinstar machine return about 2 years ago.

 

is she your ex because he refused to give it to you?

 

At one of those new, automatic change dispensers in the store, I once got a 1939 Mercury dime. Also, a couple years ago, I got a 1934A 20 dollar bill from the bank! Crisp uncirculated condition too.
