<p>[QUOTE="wmichael, post: 2606291, member: 74883"]I've been thinking back (way back to when I was 18) and I recall reading at the time that 7 mint workers got 1 ea. coin the day they were struck. Peace type, I think. The next day the mint was told to get them BACK! 5 were returned, but 2 people said that they had spent theirs at a bar that same day. The mint put out blurb that these 2 coins were considered stolen and who ever had them was to turn them in. Never heard if anyone did. Our bank (Gainesville Nat'l, Texas) got rolls of ground silver in plastic equal to one dollar and cut off packs to redeem silver notes. Wish I had gotten a few. ( Anyone else have any of them?) As these acts were so blatantly unconstitutional I expected them to be overturned. An uncle of mine in DC somewhat high up, later told that promises were taken from SCJ's that they would refuse to hear the case. See! Old may be slow, but some times we still get there<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie50" alt=":happy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
