Arrrggghhhh!!!

This morning I walked to the corner store this morning and got a 1961 dime in my change.

After a busy day of grocery shopping, going to Walgreens, going to WalMart, three yard sales, going to McDonalds, and back to the corner store, I settled down in front of the TV to watch Mythbusters.

About halfway through Dirty Jobs, I remembered the dime. I reached in my pocket and...you guessed it...somewhere in my shopping spree I spent the dime.

I feel like Charlie Brown.

Darn shame.

 

that totally sucks....I personally don't spend any change until I have put it in my organizer let it sit for months at a time then search for errors. Cashier asks do you have a penny......if I don't see a leave a penny take a penny tray I just say nope sorry..

 

You made somebody's day.

 

I do about the same thing. I check it - then into my nephews coin jars for xmas. As a matter of fact - if I even have a penny I tell them nope.

 

i have actually been spending money, just to get change!

i would have loved to find the silver dime though, i still haven't came across a silver Roosevelt, i may have to hit ebay up for one.

 

excuse my ignorance but whats so significint/special about a 1961 dime (me knows nothing about dimes) so would anyone care to enlighten me?

thx...

 

they are silver! up until 1964 dimes, quarters, and halves were silver.

 

Easy come, easy go. Don't sweat the small stuff. Maybe that is just a harbinger of a bigger score for you in the future. TC

 

Only worth 10 cents anyhow, says so right on it...

 

Abe your wrong. It's worth over a dollar in silver melt. Make sure you know this.

 

I was being a smarty pants...

 

Whatever. I have had enough fun on this site with my jokes.

 

That's why when I get a coin I want to keep in change I drop it in my shirt pocket and not my pants pocket with the rest of the change.

 

I put any change I want to keep in my left pocket, as normally change goes in the right pocket, yay for systems

 

Im left handed, so my money goes in my left pocket, but sometimes i inadvertently put my change in my right pocket. So, the errors or goodies go in my ass pocket. That way every time i sit down, i remind myself that i got a couple goodies to search through. And it begins.

 

>>>>Next Time.<<<<<<

I try to get pants with 5 pockets.

Two Back~Side......Two Front~side......Plus a "Watch Pocket" where I also keep my Swiss Mini~Knife.

And that is where I place coins to look at my leisure.

 

It all evens out in the end.

My friend received a 1945 dime from a Safeway change machine the other day.

 

That's why I use my watch pocket for anything I find instead of the regular pocket.
