<p>[QUOTE=&quot;theshoegazer, post: 2514837, member: 69354&quot;]That&#039;s the funny thing about coins; they&#039;re money.</p><p><br /></p><p>This whole forum is based on the pursuit (and the thrill) of finding coins worth more than face value (or just a curiosity) in circulation. Sure, we don&#039;t want a collector to be robbed or the relative of a collector to carelessly spend family heirlooms as pocket change, but we all want to find rare and valuable coins in our change and bank rolls.</p><p><br /></p><p>I once had a bank teller hand over coins that she knew were silver. I asked her &quot;why not just keep them for yourself?&quot;. She said she wasn&#039;t interested in collecting coins, and if she took the time to swap them out, go to a coin shop (nearest real LCS was 30 minutes or more away) or &quot;we buy gold&quot; place, she&#039;d only be up a couple of bucks. To her, the time it would take was more valuable.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
