Got super lucky at work last night

So last night I was working and I had to open up a roll of dimes and I got these 3 mercury dimes out of the roll and someone spent this last year silver quarter

What do you want to bet that someone, somewhere, is gloating that they were able to spend (or cash in) those "old beat-up foreign" dimes like they were "real money"?

 

It wouldn't surprise me considering people have actually tried to spend foreign money where I work at

 

I'm sure. But, hey, if you can keep up with exchange rates, you might even be able to profit there...

 

That's to much to keep up with plus unless its a like a Canadian coin or other common foreign coin that I can identify its face value i cannot accept it

 

Another funny thing is sometimes people try to give me arcade tokens thinking they are quarters

 

Too bad you don’t know who spent them. If you did you could ask if they had more of them. Lol

 

Other possibility is someone's grandma or grandpa passed away and the kids and/or grandkids went through all the drawers in the house "treasure hunting" for big money and/or life insurance policies and simply just rolled all the change they rounded up during the hunting and turned it in at the bank for paper cash.

 

That's what most likely happened with the 3 mercury dimes cause they came from the bank

 

"One man's treasure is another man's trash".

 

I momentarily thought of some other 'subject' when I say the title of your post...

 

Oh the shame of it.

 

Well I've never got that lucky at work besides I never mix personal business with professional business

 

You're looking for that other Forum.

 

I found three mercury dimes roll searching. I always like it when I find them.

 

So do I.

 

I haven't roll searched in a while since TD Bank got rid of their Penny Arcade.

 

Time to find a new bank.

 

You can't actually turn foreign coins in the US at a currency exchange or bank and exchange to US money; only foreign currency (obviously that hasn't been demonitized as well). So unless you go to the country to spend the foreign coins you are likely out of luck unless your LCS will take them off your hands...
