<p>[QUOTE="Madams36, post: 2986694, member: 93007"]Well, I don't know that I'd call the story priceless. My grandmother collected them during the 30's, 40's, 50's and 60's. She passed away in 1973 when I was 5 and left all the coins/bills to my parents. They were stashed away in my parents' closet since then and weren't touched. When I was a kid I knew they existed but never really took much note of them. Both of my parents passed away recently so I'm finding these containers as I'm cleaning out their house. I haven't really gone through the strongbox that has the bags of quarters, mercury dimes, nickels, etc. If I get time today or tonight, I'll dump those bags out and see if there is anything out of the ordinary in there. I haven't looked much at the red-number bills either other than the few on the top. </p><p><br /></p><p>Incidentally, I don't need the money so am not in any hurry to unload any of this it. My teenage boys seem to enjoy this stuff so we'll probably want to keep a sampling of them but not likely to keep all of it (unless they decide they want it).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
