    Value means little to me as I collect mostly for the sake I enjoy collecting. However it is cool to have something of value but it's not everything to me

    Kid probably took them from his Dad's collection and has no idea what they are.

    Definitely cool!

    And a comment, tip besides... BE PREPARED, if someone comes in with a $100 US Note, Series '66 (Numis. News said a few years ago that Fed still is sitting on $122 million' worth of them), or a $20 Silver Certificate, $1 Barr Note, etc., ...

    And, gotta' wonder, how many coins we find now are those that kids boosted from parents' + grandparents' collections.....................

    I have a funny feeling about an employee that misappropriates money from their supervisor or business. Regardless of the source of the coins, the coins were given to the business in exchange for a commodity. Having been a state auditor for over 30 years, the transaction belongs to the company, by taking the coins from the company, you are misappropriating his currency or coins. If your supervisor found out the value of the transaction and the employee took advantage of the supervisor, he should terminate the employee and keep a record of the employees dishonesty in the event there is an inquiry from another company that wants to hire the employee.

    I disagree with this Mr. Dale. 'misappropriation of money' ???

    If a customer puts money in MY hand, and I receive it as face value legal tender, I have the option to put face value legal tender into seller's hand [till].

    "funny feeling" ? Maybe just say that you would criminally prosecute Zako ?

    As long as you replace the coins at face value there's no issue.
    I've done this with coins, silver certificates, at a number of retail jobs I worked and there was never an issue. As long as your register balances out, it doesn't matter.
    There is no misappropriation of money.

    You know I had a feeling that someone would say something along the lines of exchanging the coins at their face value us wrong but my manager knows I collect coins and is fine with me exchanging them and considering that if I didn't exchange them when ever old coins goes back to the bank it usually gets melted down I really don't see the big deal especially since most businesses don't care about how old a coin is

    The guy said he swapped the nickels for his own money, the business he works for got the full value of the purchase. What's the problem?
