Message:: [QUOTE="sunflower, post: 1412001, member: 23219"]I walked into the bank yesterday and asked for JFK halve dollar clads in rolls. (well, I said half dollars please). The teller said that she did not have any. I then asked  about nickels in rolls. She said yes. She asked how many I would like. I asked how many she had? She check her journal and stated $150 face. I told her I would take $100. She pulled them out and went to retrieve a bag. She came back with a nice heavy duty shopping bag like holder in red fabric. I was delighted. As she filled it her boss asked her to lower the bag to save her back. Then the manager asked me why nickels. I said I like them. As the bag filled with 2000 nickels reached me, I was smiling. I then droped the bag lower to get a better grip. I then exclaimed outloud, "Oh I feel so rich." Another customer and the staff had a quick laugh. I made my way to the car. Since I was in the back passenger seat for the long day out, I began searching the rolls. It was fun until I started to get car sick. With all that said, I guess I am passionate about hoarding nickels and clad halves. I also take great joy in reading my book about California Fractionals. Wheat ear cents are another favorite coin for me to collect. Except for the California Fractionals in my collections, most of the other coins are well circulated. Nice thread![/QUOTE]
