<p>[QUOTE="cookiemonster12, post: 1205685, member: 26614"]Well, I had a fun day at the bank Friday. I went in to pick up a new box of cents (the tellers that work Friday afternoons know me pretty well, and I try to stop by once a week). First, I went over to the coin counting machine, and put my hand into the reject bin. There's a little chute that the coins come down, but they usually get stuck, and most people don't noticed. I walked away with a fistful of change, mostly foreign money, including two silver Canadian quarters. Then, as the teller went to fetch me my box of pennies, I noticed that the one a few spots down had two Ikes in the dollars slot, and what looked like a bunch of halves. When my teller came back, I asked if I could buy the Ikes and halfs. She nodded and went to get them. She grabbed the halves, only to tell me that they were all Ikes! It felt like my heart was going to jump out of my chest. I don't know why, but I've always loved Ikes, even though they aren't worth too much.
