<p>[QUOTE="Troodon, post: 188408, member: 4626"]Kind of a once in a blue moon thing, but when I worked as a cashier at Sam's Club, it seems that silver dimes showed up a lot more than you'd expect. Over the course of about a year, I found about 14 silver dimes... sounds like a lot, but this is a year working almost full time at a very high volume membership warehouse, so we're not even talking 1% here. One of them was even a Mercury dime. During that same year, I also found a silver wartime nickel, and a buffalo nickel right out of the bank roll (it's in better condition than another I paid $5 for lol, and this one only cost me 5 cents!). Quite a lot of foreign coins got mixed in with US change too.</p><p><br /></p><p>Seeing other people posting about it, ocassionally I'd get my bank to order a box of half dollars, just to see what I'd find. In the average $500 box I'd find maybe about 5 or 6 silver half dollars, so figure an average succes rate of about 0.5%. Not a lot, but it's fun to do on ocassion. Usually don't have the cashflow handy to have $500 tied up in a box of half dollars but I try to do it on ocassion; the ones I don't keep I deposit at a different bank.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
