<p>[QUOTE="bugo, post: 1726956, member: 53226"]The silver dime streak has ended, but I've found some other interesting coins the last few days. I've found a bunch of wheats, some old nickels, some half dollars, lots of bicentennials (I save them to spend on a rainy day. I know they're not worth anything but they were only made 2 years and are somewhat interesting. I like the design on the reverse.) I found a few foreign coins Some Canadian pennies, and a 1917 French 50 centimes coin (85% silver!) in the Coinstar reject bin (I thought the Coinstar bin finds were rare and I didn't expect to find anything, but I hit a grand slam home run on my first try.) Today, I found a 1988 British penny in a roll of American pennies (even though the British penny is noticeably larger than the American cent.) I also found a 1999 Venezuelan 20 bolivares a month or so ago when a woman had a bunch of change in her hand and i noticed the coin and told her we couldn't accept it but that I'd give her a quarter for it. I probably got burned on the exchange rate, but I was happy to get a coin that is rarely seen in Indian Country, the store was happy because they made the sale, and the customer was happy because she was able to spend a "worthless" coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
