We have a snack bar, with open change drawer and you are basically on the honor system to pay and take change as necessary. I decided to try an experiment. I took a couple of old worn common buffalo nickels and several commom 50&#039;s wheat penny&#039;s and used them in making a purchase. I wanted to see if anyone would notice them, and how long it would take if someone did...maybe they would wind up in someone&#039;s hand in another town and plant a collecting seed. Well, today, about 2 days later, my boss comes screaming down the hall, &quot;OMG...someone raided grandma&#039;s coin jar! holy cow!&quot;, and he comes to show me what he&#039;s found. He was so excited that he found those in circulation, and I just didn&#039;t have the heart to tell him that I intentionally spent them for experimental reasons. I feel kind of guilty, but it is true that he found them in circulation. I mean, just because I spent them, doesn&#039;t take away from the fact that it&#039;s a circulation &quot;find&quot;..right? I feel a little sneaky, but it was amusing and it made his day.</font><img src="http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/images/icon_smile_approve.gif" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
