Message:: [QUOTE="Chuck_A, post: 3932375, member: 104486"]That is strange to purposely throw money away. My wife works for USPS and one of her customers gave her $12 in presidential dollars thinking they were quarters to pay for a delivery. He told her that he received them from a parking meter as change from a $5 bill and he wasn't aware of the dollar coins and apparently the city isn't either. I can't even imagine how much money the city has lost due to the ignorance of the coins and how the parking meter cannot distinguish between the two and the fact that they accept bills and return change. The customer inserted $5 and received $12 in change? He also said that he has quite a few old morgan silver dollars that he's had for many many years and wants me to look at them as soon as he gets back from Arizona in the spring (he's in his 80's) and I'm absolutely thrilled to help him out and I hope he has something great that I can share with CT members! I can't do FOG due to recent health issues and I am very excited about this opportunity to help someone who does not know what they may have and the possible value. He is a kind person and I won't attempt to cheat him on any of his coins, he gave my wife the 12 presidential dollars as a gift for watching his mail while he is away. I hope this is relevant to your post.[/QUOTE]
