<p>[QUOTE="VistaCruiser69, post: 11946678, member: 107016"]I've mentioned this before on this forum, years ago. My mother was a waitress all her life and was able to accumulate roughly 16 or 17 large coffee can's of these bicentennial quarters between the years 1983 - 1988. I remember being at the restaurant after closing and she'd go through all the quarters and put her own quarters in exchange for all the bicentennials. Do you have any idea how heavy a large coffee can full of quarters is? She had all the cans stacked staggered two high up against the wall in her walk-in closet.</p><p> </p><p>Eventually she ended up rolling them all over a very long period of time, brought them to the bank, changed them into paper money and then she went out and bought a base model 3rd gen Chevy Camaro with the money. While she was collecting them, she thought that they would be worth more some day. Never happened.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
