<p>[QUOTE="NorthKorea, post: 1178031, member: 29643"]I got into collecting through my father's aunt. She used to cut my hair as a child, so after my hair appointments, she'd take out her crowns and US coins. If I behaved (which was VERY rarely the case -- really hated getting my hair cut), I'd get to pick one of the US coins. Invariably, I'd pick the quarters. I'm sure it had a lot to do with video games. When she passed away, collecting took a back seat to school, but during high school, I bought silver when I could, and would pull silver quarters and dimes from the till at the bowling center that I frequented. The desk clerk would let me go through the cash on the premise that I replaced whatever I took. This worked out better for both of us, as often times (through some strange form of providence), the coins I took would be the "extras" (those that weren't rolled), which made cashing-out easier at the end of the evening.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
