<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 2098166, member: 66&quot;]My grandmother used to hide silver coins in jars andone of her favorites was to wrap them in rags and hide them in old paint cans.&nbsp; That way there wouldn&#039;t rattle if you shook the can.&nbsp; She also hid paper money in books and magazines.&nbsp; After my grandparents died we had great trouble keeping my grandfathers second wives sister out of the house. (We were buying the property with contents)&nbsp; every time we cam by we would find she had been there &quot;cleaning up&quot;.&nbsp; Which meant burning all the old magazines, books, cans, jars etc.&nbsp; And every time we would wind up digging through the ashes of the burn pile recovering the coins and sometimes fragments of paper money.&nbsp; My grandfather also used to use family pictures as bookmarks in the books he read, so we lost most of those as well.&nbsp; After we managed to get her out we still found several cans of coins and there are still areas in the top of the barn we have never gotten around to searching.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
