<p>[QUOTE="FE21, post: 1561538, member: 41686"]One of my good friends father just happens to be a big coin collector. I got to meet him finally, and he told me a story about how he lost his first job...</p><p> Being a coin collector way back, there was a boatload of things to find in circulation. As a cashier, it wasn't difficult to find silver coinage or older being handed to you to pay for something. But I doubt buffalo nickels were very rare. One day, he found the motherload in the register: A 1937-D 3-leged buffalo nickel! I'm sure in his excitement he attracted a small amount of attention, but he very easily could have discreetly exchanged it for a nickel of his own... He did, but someone, must have gotten the wrong idea, because he was fired and required to return the nickel back to the register (he didn't get his nickel back). I can only imagine what it says on his criminal record "Stole a nickel from a cash register". It's a fun read, and I think it qualifies as coin roll hunting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
