Message:: [QUOTE="Coinlover, post: 180383, member: 6032"]i met this coin dealer in kansas one time and he actually buys old broken down junk vending machines that have no keys. i was really getting into his stories he was telling me about how he bought an old soda machine from the 60's and it broke in the 70's and the owners lost the keys and there was still money inside! he said he found all kinds of old coins. he also buys junk cars alot and rips the back seat out because there is lots of lost change in the backseats of cars. when people sit down change falls within the cracks. well, one time he bought a 50's model car and he found a 1921 silver morgan dollar, some silver jewery, and some other things that had been lost in the seats and carpet. well, he buys these cars for  $50, rips the inside up, gets the coins and sells the car back to the junkyard! the junkyard buys these old cars for $50 so he gets his $50 back plus a little extra from the coins and jewery he finds. i used to email this guy but i can't email him for some unknow reason. he was very fun to chat with and email. my point is, next time you pass by a junkyard, just think how many old coins are in those cars!<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> also, if you buy a new car, since they recycle the cars, just think about the silver and copper in the coins that were melted with the car.:goofer:[/QUOTE]
