<p>[QUOTE="Jim Dale, post: 8155303, member: 100459"]I don't know if this is too off topic, but, since I became a coin collector, I keep all my coins that come from the change I get when I purchase something. I have a lot of coins that are dated after 1964 (except the Kennedy Half Dollars 65-70). My wife keeps a mason jar for the change I give her. I don't know how many full mason jars she has. I'm the culprit that has caused a shortage of coins that could be used for change. Before I put a coin in her mason jar, I give it a "look-over" to see if there is something about it that needs to be put into my coin collection.</p><p>Anyway, yesterday, I went to a Dollar General (I don't know if this store is localized or regional or national. It's a modern-day five and dime store.) Getting back to my story, I bought some tape that cost me $5.89, so I gave her a $5 and $1. I was told they didn't have change. Well, I saw her cash register and all of the "pockets" were full. She even had a couple of Kennedys. Anyway, I asked her to give me my money back. Some how, she magically found a dime and a penny. We have about 5 of these stores and each of them have a cup that you can "round up". Anyway, at the end of the day, those coins either go to the store or to the pockets of the cashier.</p><p>Like I said, I'm sorry about getting "off topic", but I'm curious if any of you have seen this action in your stores. (My wife pays for everything with her VISA.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
