I used to take the first lunch shift. When I returned from lunch I would cover the cash register for an hour while the second lunch shift was gone. One day I came in to break the 2nd shift and I heard that unique silver &quot;jingle&quot; when the register opened. I gave the drawer a quick look over and saw several silver dimes in the till. I nearly freaked out.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was careful giving out change until the store emptied, then I took a $5.00 bill and bought another roll of dimes from my boss (a good friend I should point out, who was also the owner of the store). I emptied the dime slot from the register into a paper cup and went through the coins later that afternoon. I found 37 silver dimes, mostly Roosevelts, but several Mercurys and a few Barbers too. The oldest coin was a nice 1865 three cent piece (I thought it was a dime until I looked it up a few years ago). My boss couldn&#039;t have cared less and sold everything to me for $3.70.</p><p><br /></p><p>It turns out that some kid had come in to the store while I was gone to eat. He exchanged a roll of dimes for a $5 bill. No one had ever seen him before and he never came back. I&#039;ve often wondered just whose coin collection he robbed to get that roll of &quot;dimes&quot;.....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
