And, given the current timeframe, in which &quot;The Greatest Generation&quot; members are dropping like flies, I think it likely that the collection fell prey to &quot;The old man <i>finally</i> died, now we can finally get rid of all this <i><b>change</b></i> he hoarded like a fool&quot; syndrome, which IMO is a primary fodder for the Coinstar plague.</p><p><br /></p><p>(As an aside, every time I see someone referring to coins as &quot;change,&quot; a variety of epithets are subvocalized.)</p><p><br /></p><p>The second thing is that I think this was (horribly) cleaned at some point, and not very recently.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
