<p>[QUOTE="lehmansterms, post: 3099718, member: 80804"]I don't know what happened to the comment I originally wrote, but the gist of it was that as late as the early 90's I was still getting 90% silver dollars (and other coins) regularly from helpful folks working in neighboring banks and stores. Then my career changed and I no longer hung out in that mercantile area every day. I also think that this is a less common occurence in recent years because almost no one uses actual cash. Stores no longer have the same volume in their daily infusion of raw change from circulation - and cash drawers aren't opened to the customers' view unless a cash transaction is made, so even if they have interesting coins, the clerks now have to consciously offer them since you no longer are able to catch a glimpse of the contents of the cash drawer as a casual customer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
