<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bugo, post: 1720403, member: 53226&quot;]I have some theories: Customers who are having nic fits and think they NEED their Marlboro NXTs finding a jar full of money and not realizing or caring that it is old and possibly valuable.&nbsp; Before I worked there, somebody paid for some smokes with a bunch of Buffalo nickels.&nbsp; My manager got a $1 Silver Certificate from 1956 or 57 in nice condition.&nbsp; I&#039;ve had customers pay with $2 bills and Eisenhower dollars, along with 50 cent pieces (including 2 1967s.)The store I work in faces a horse ranch to the front, a lower class neighborhood behind the store and a nice subdivision of McMansions just across the street.&nbsp; Also, there&#039;s a casino nearby that I can actually see from our parking lot.&nbsp; I know they give out 50 cent pieces (I wish half dollars would make a comeback.&nbsp; They&#039;re certainly more convenient than the small dollar coins we have now.)&nbsp; The bad economy is causing collectors to spend their old money collections.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I wonder if the mints still have the silver-detecting machines?&nbsp; As rare as silver coins are, it seems like it would be a waste of money to have run them all these years.&nbsp; If not, we may see the occasional silver coin in circulation before somebody realizes what they have and hoards it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
