<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pere, post: 1844258, member: 59199&quot;]Well, I don&#039;t know what one would do with 20,000 nickels that--as you acknowledged--won&#039;t be worth noticeably above five cents apiece in one&#039;s lifetime.</p><p><br /></p><p>Apart from spending them, which can be pretty fun. IME, many people have <i>not</i> seen them. I just spent one an hour ago. The tab was $40.03, and I handed the cashier two $20s and a shiny Tom Buffalo. She did a double-take, looked closer, asked me if they were &quot;the new nickels.&quot; I said no, it was a special series from 2005 (actually, I wish these were the current ongoing mintage). Amusingly, she was so distracted that she forgot what notes I&#039;d given her and started to give me a $10 back, as if I&#039;d given a $50 (but I&#039;m honest). I don&#039;t know if she&#039;ll buy that Buff out of her till or not, but I bet she&#039;ll look a little more at coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
