<p>[QUOTE=&quot;davidh, post: 479635, member: 15062&quot;]Okay, we should then assume that you aren&#039;t working the counter register and that your contact with the money is when you&#039;re counting it during and at the end of your shift.&nbsp; So what&#039;s the problem?&nbsp; If you&#039;re in your office handling the money just take whatever time you need to search it.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>With bills, any with a blue or red seal, rather than a green one, may be worth a bit, but the worn ones you&#039;re likely to come across probably won&#039;t have much of a premium.&nbsp; Likewise any bill with a star at the end of its serial number.</p><p><br /></p><p>With coins, you&#039;re going to have to decide what you want to look for.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Cents with a wheat ear reverse can be pulled out.&nbsp; Newer cents are mostly worth a penny but you might want to acquaint yourself with the wide-AM and close-AM varieties of 1992, 1998, 1999 and 2000.&nbsp; Also various years with double-die features, but these usually require a magnifier to see properly. </p><p><br /></p><p>There are few Jefferson nickels that you can pull after just a quick glance.&nbsp; The 50-D still has some extra value.&nbsp; Any nickel with a mint mark above the building on the reverse is worth saving.&nbsp; Few circulated Buffalo nickels will have a readable date.&nbsp; If you find one, don&#039;t bother with the worn ones if you can&#039;t read the date.</p><p><br /></p><p>There&#039;s not much in the way of dimes to get excited over unless it&#039;s earlier than 1965.&nbsp; Those would be silver.&nbsp; That would be all &quot;Mercury&quot; dimes and 1946 to 1964 Roosevelts.</p><p><br /></p><p>Any quarter prior to 1965 should be pulled.&nbsp; They are silver.&nbsp; Quarters were made in the hundreds of millions for each year and, for the most part, are worth 25 cents each.&nbsp; This includes the State Quarters.&nbsp; Don&#039;t waste your time with them.</p><p><br /></p><p>You may occasionally come across a half dollar.&nbsp; The only ones worth keeping are any that aren&#039;t Kennedys and the 1964-1970 Kennedys.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are no &quot;gold&quot; dollar coins worth anything more than a dollar, except some of the Presidential series with no lettering on the edge.&nbsp; Don&#039;t confuse those with the Sacagawea Dollar coins which do have a plain edge and have no premium.&nbsp; If you see a 1979 Susan B. Anthony dollar with the date almost touching the rim, it may be worth $2-3 in circulated condition.</p><p><br /></p><p>Beyond all of this, you may occasionally come across a coin with an extra smooth and shiny background field, along with really strong details on the portrait and letters.&nbsp; This may be a Proof coin that someone put into circulation.&nbsp; Its proof value likely will have been destroyed by being worn and dinged up, but it&#039;s still a better coin for the particular type/year than the average coin and you might want to use it in whatever set you&#039;re assembling.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
