<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 115469, member: 4552"]There are reasons for still finding such coins in change. For one thing there are numerous coin robberies and the crooks don't know what to do with the coins so they just spend them. That is also why occatioinally someone will find a proof coin in change. Then there are the dealers or collectors that think only an MS rated coin is worth saving and all the rest are junk so they throw them back into circulation. That one may sound impossible but I met a dealer once that gave me a handfull of old badly worn Lincolns and said he was just getting ready to put them back into circulation by taking them and others to a bank. Then there are always the people that have that jar, can, box of coins laying around and one day just take it to a bank. Then there are kids with piggy banks, coins found when a building is torn down, etc. </p><p>To sum it up, keep on looking.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
