<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jim Dale, post: 4949286, member: 100459&quot;]I&#039;m sure many of you know tellers in your banks.&nbsp; Some may know you collect coin and when you go to your bank/credit union, the teller may want to show you a coin that they had taken in.&nbsp; That happened to me about 2 years ago.&nbsp; A teller at our credit union (a former student of my wife&#039;s) saw me and took me aside and was very eager to show me a gold quarter that a customer had given her.&nbsp; She had it in a small box wrapped in a piece of cloth. She took me into the SDB room and showed it to me.&nbsp; It was a 2002D Washington Quarter layered with a thin coat of gold &quot;paint&quot;?&nbsp; I took out my handkerchief and lifted the coin from her box to look at the coin closely.&nbsp; I wanted her to know I wasn&#039;t going to &quot;bust her bubble&quot;, but I also didn&#039;t want her to think that the coin was a valuable item.&nbsp; I looked at it very close and then I had to tell her the truth, that it was a real Washington quarter that someone or some business had taken a real coin and had it coated with come type of gold coating.&nbsp; I told her that it was only worth about $20 and I would like to buy it if she would like to sell it.&nbsp; I think that she was very happy that I was willing to give her $20 for a gold coated quarter.&nbsp; It was worth it, because everytime I go to the credit union, she shows me coins that had come into the credit union.&nbsp; Many of the coins aren&#039;t worth too much, but I always give her more than the coins are worth.&nbsp; Now the other tellers have gotten into selling me coin collections.&nbsp; It has cost me over $200 over the years, but the value of the friendship that I have gotten is worth thousands. (By the way, I still have the gold coated 2002 D quarter and will never sell it or give it away.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
