<p>[QUOTE="error_koin, post: 2674779, member: 85958"]Fun short story: I manage a grocery store, and we do change orders at a bank several times a week, so I'm always dealing with coin rolls. But during one of the change orders, I opened one of the rolls and noticed the entire rolls was filled all with silver quarters! I thought damn, someone goofed up. But then I started inspecting my other rolls and noticed I got several more rolls full of silver quarters. After going through all my rolls I got from the bank that day, I ended up getting $140 face-value in silver quarters. I thought damn, someone REALLY goofed up.</p><p><br /></p><p>The bank was notified about these quarters and they tried to contact the person who deposited these. It would have been bad on the conscience to just keep these without trying to give them back to the customer who deposited them, as it was obviously an accident. We waited several months for a response but no one claimed them so now I am claiming them.</p><p><br /></p><p>The only coins in great condition are the 1964s.
