I was talking about old coins today with the Korean owner of a Gas Station, just across the street from the business I run. I asked if he ever got any in and what he does with them. He said he gets them in now-and-then and keeps them in a little stash at home. He figured they were worth something more than face value but doesn't really have a big interest in collecting, other than what happens to show up in change. Then I asked him if he ever got any Silver or Gold Certificates and that's where the story gets interesting. He said one day a Silver Certificate came in, he'd never seen one before and it looked funny, so he used the counterfeit marker on it and it showed it was a counterfeit and he called the cops. When the cops arrived, they educated him on what he had and the person who had tendered it quickly pulled out another bill (new one) and asked for the other one back. He said he could have kicked his own butt once he found out what he had! Needless to say, I couldn't talk him out of his stash. :headbang: Ribbit :smile
