<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 108372, member: 4552"]I think I've told this story a hundred times but to repeat: Way back in the mid 70's the Mint came out with a thing called the Bicentennial coins. Myself and millions of other ran out to hoard them by the millions. One friend of mine used to brag he had thousands of dollars worth of the dumb things and all in Uncirc condition. He went to a few coin shows to sell some and only encountered smiles and laughs. He and myself ended up taking them to a bank for face value. The interest in a bank would have been smarter and in a money market account even better. Actually the same amount of money invested in Beanie Babies of Hot Wheel Cars would have been just as rewarding only the banks wouldn't take them. </p><p>Keep those nickels for a few hundred years and they should be worth more than a nickel.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
