<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 114524, member: 4552"]I too keep away from antique shops. They are in buisness to make money and with a low turn around on their merchandise they have to make up for it on each sale. Another great method I use is to find an old looking bank. go in and ask for a $50 bag of pennies. Take it home and spend lots of time going through them and then take the left overs to another bank. It pays to have a savings or checking account in several banks where you want to take the pennies back to though because some establishments want to charge you for cashing in the pennies. However, if you just deposit the coins in your account there should be no charge. At one of our local banks there is no charge up to $100 and then they start to charge a coin counting fee so I make sure I'm always in the below that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
