<p>[QUOTE="eddiespin, post: 2259384, member: 4920"]My oldest in bank rolls was an 1865 IHC that needed xylene treatment and heavy brushing just to see the date. The story behind the find is kind of interesting. I had stopped at the bank that had been supplying me just as they were pulling down the shades in the drive-up window. I was so disappointed because I wanted $10-worth of cents for when I got home. Driving home, I passed by another bank with cars in the lanes and their shades still up. This was an entirely different bank, and I didn't have an account in it. I figured they were staying open longer because they had the customers still in line, so I got right in behind the last car. When I got to the window, I just put the bag in the drawer, and said, "$10 in cents, please." They were in such a hurry to get out of there, the teller didn't ask any questions. If my bank hadn't had its shades down, I'd have never got that IHC. It just blew my mind when I saw it. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
