I got three brand spanking new Hot Springs quarters in change from a cafe a few steps away in the food court. I almost did a double-take thinking someone had bought some quarters from the Mint kiosk when they ran out at the till. LOL. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
