<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 213773, member: 4552"]Nice find that is for sure. And there are many reasons people still find such coins in change. Some people that used to collect coins in a jar, can, box, etc just take them to a bank and presto, back in circulation. Also, most crooks that steal a coin collection just spen the coins as coins. Then there is the few people that just get tired of collecting and start using some of their coins for spending. Myself, I've been dumping lots and lots of Kennedy Halves for tips at restaurants. I recently dumped hundreds of dollars worth of those stupid Bicentennial Quarters into a bank. As to the large Ike Dollars I just saw a pile of them at a flea market for $1.5 each. At many banks in the area I've had tellers tell me they get them on occations but they are put aside for people that have put their names on a list for them. One teller I know said nuts to those lists, her relatives get them all.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
