<p>[QUOTE=&quot;VistaCruiser69, post: 3722662, member: 107016&quot;]Back in the 80&#039;s I had a friend who&nbsp; was roughly 10 years older then me.&nbsp; He had one of those glass 5 gallon water jugs with about three inches of quarters at the bottom of it.&nbsp; 20 years later, I ran into him and went over to his home and that same jug was there, but this time was all the way past the top.&nbsp; There were about 20 or so quarters balancing in a mound up past the lip of the jug.&nbsp; You can&#039;t even budge that jug of quarters.&nbsp; I&#039;m guessing it must weigh a few hundred pounds.&nbsp; He says he won&#039;t try and move it until he decides the jug will have to be busted open.&nbsp; He doesn&#039;t have any idea how many quarters are in there, but one thing he&#039;s sure of, nothing is older than 1965.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So there are tons of people hoarding coins such as quarters.&nbsp; Even my own mother used to hoard bicentennial quarters for something like 10 years.&nbsp; She ended up realizing they wouldn&#039;t be worth more than face value, at least during her lifetime, so she put them in paper quarter rollers over a period of a few months, brought them to the bank to exchange them for paper currency, and then went out and bought a new car.&nbsp; She claims she had roughly 16 one gallon coffee cans of them in her closet by the time she stopped collecting them.&nbsp; She told me she would spend a few hours a day in the evenings rolling them.&nbsp; After each time, she said her finger tips were all black from the coinage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
