    rickmp Frequently flatulent.

    Is it the back side of some kind of coin storage/counting thing?

    Correct

    It is a Bank Teller's coin counter / changer.

    I got it from a Closed Wells Fargo Bank :yes:

    That's cool. I was just wondering about this sort of thing, how do you go to a closing place and get there stuff? I thought they just gave it to a nearby branch,

    Yep, 5000 sq ft, Old Wells Fargo Bank built in 1951. I basically got it for the value of the 3 commercial lots it sits on. Wells Fargo was liquidating older banks as they merged with some other banks.

    I remember a bank in Cincinnati (late 60's to early 70's) that was converted to a bar. The Vault was in the basement & you could go down & inside it. Somewhere DownTown Cincinnati.

    Believe it or not, only 56 cents in loose coins. They really cleaned it out pretty good.

    Well, it probably won't turn around in 5 years. so.... :)

    I'll give you an example. My house was valued at 180k 9 years ago. Today it is valued at 70k, and would never sell for that. :(

    That goes for commercial land as well.
