<p>[QUOTE="Seattlite86, post: 3468718, member: 59737"]I have no shame. Back on the states, I’ll ask someone if they don’t mind looking at their change because a coin sounded funny. I always offer to buy any coin that’s silver. I look at my coins quickly when I get them from a purchase. If I get a coin of interest, I’ll ask the cashier if there are any more like that. I simply explain that I collect coins. I trade out coins in the take a penny (keep a few in your pocket). I scout out old... err mature....people who are unsure how to use coin star and help them and then offer to buy their rejects. I ask tellers if they have any weird coins they could pass my way. Worst case scenario, I get a weird look and told no. Best case, easy silver. I have never left a coin on the ground. My wife does not put her change into her purse without passing it to me for a look. </p><p><br /></p><p>My theory is: every time you don’t ask, it’s opportunity lost.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
