<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 2489391, member: 66&quot;]Yes it did sometimes happen back in the 50&#039;s and 60&#039;s.&nbsp; People misunderstood the gold recall order and thought they were breaking the law by having gold coins when they inherited them.&nbsp; To stay out of &quot;trouble&quot; they would pass quarter and half eagles along in rolls of dimes or nickels, or sometimes find a vending machine that would accept them as dimes or nickels.&nbsp; I know a gentleman that had a vending machine route back in the early sixties and he would sometims get them in his machines.&nbsp; People didn&#039;t realize they were still legal tender, they just thought they were illegal to possess and didn&#039;t want to get caught with them.</p><p><br /></p><p>If they put them in rolls though they wouldn&#039;t be on the ends.&nbsp; They were trying to hide them.&nbsp; They would be inside the roll.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
