<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Rabone, post: 147902, member: 1515&quot;]<span style="color: black">In 1967 and 1968 I had morning and afternoon paper routes in Indianapolis. Back then, the route owner had to collect for the paper, which meant each week on a Friday evening and Saturday morning, I would make the rounds to get my payments. I carried a four tube coin changer on my belt, the kind you pushed a lever for a denomination and it shot out a coin. Since it was a 4 tube, any halves I got had to go into the pocket. I used to get a lot of Franklins, rarely a Walker. Saw some Indian Head nickels as well, and a few Winged Liberty dimes. Never saw a Standing Liberty, ever.</span></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: black">Paper money I used to get well circulated silver certificates.</span></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: black">Never paid much attention to the copper coins, but I know several hundred wheaties passed through my hands. I saw wheaties up to the 1970&#039;s, but even then the cent had no purchase power, and, well, I think the Lincoln is damn boring.</span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
