So I have been sharing my stories of all my coin buying jaunts, I have a route and I visit particular banks and credit unions on certain days and times based on when they have big deposits coming etc. I have most of my banks tellers on a performance plan. Of course gift cards and little favours like digging out ten silver British sixpences for family members weddings etc help out tremendously. Yesterday afternoon while on my regularly scheduled visit to one of the banks, a teller saw me come in and she booked off to get her purse. Knowing I am a collector she had gathered up a handful of coins that she found - they must have come from a relative that had travelled in Europe in the early 1970's - all Belgian, French, German and Swiss coins. Nothing too valuable, but a cool thing all the while. They were her gift to me. Then this morning at another branch they had two 1967 and one 1969 halves that had come in. Now I am going to do something similar with my 7-11 folks, they see lots of stuff come in during the evening and night hours when people are going through cigarette withdrawals etc.
That's great! My mom, a massage therapist, had talks my hobby to some of her clients, and one client actually brought me a roll of wheats for Christmas the other day, but he didn't give it to me directly, so I wasn't able to give him the well deserved thanks.
