<p>[QUOTE="ConfederateHalf, post: 2046586, member: 27946"]Quite true. When I was in elementary school in the early '70's the cashier in the school cafeteria used to save wheat cents, IHC's, Buffalos, War nickels, silver Mercs, Roosies, Barbers, SLQ's, Washington's, Benjamin's, and Kennedy's for the 3 or 4 kids, (me included), who were coin collectors. She gave us everything at face. It was a blast. I used to race the other kids to the line to try to get to the cashier before they did. It was not unusual to see coins from the teens, twenties, and thirties still in circulation back then. Of course, wheat pennies were the coins most often encountered and we saved every one of them religiously and disdained all Lincoln Memorial cents in those days.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
