[QUOTE="BigsWick, post: 322926, member: 3534"]Thanks Treashunt. It's a story I've told here before. I was working in a hardware store while I was in grad school. One day I went to lunch at 12:00 and came back to cover the cash register for an hour at 1:00. The first time the register opened I heard that silver "jingle" that makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up. I could see the dime slot was full of silver. I took everything out and showed my boss. Some kid had come in while I was gone and exchanged a roll of dimes for $5. No one had ever seen him before so no way to track him down. My boss couldn't have cared less, so he sold me everything at face- $3.70, but he did charge me 10¢ for the 3¢ nickel.:D It is by far and away my best find ever. I still wonder what was in the 13 coins that got away![/QUOTE]
