Message:: [QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 728508, member: 4552"]Not sure about other areas but around me home invations are really common due to the economy and just a high crime rate. As coins are stolen, as a rule the criminals have no idea of their values and could care less. If your on drugs the necessity to get cash for those drugs makes it mandatory to just dump coins anywhere you can. Lots of them end up in pawn shops, some at flea markets but a great place to get rid of coins is those machines in many stores. And no questions asked. In my neighborhood there have been several such robberies and the ability of coin recoveries is completely out of any possibility. No one ever asks at a flea market, pawn shop, coin store, coin show where the coins came from. No one I've ever heard of requests any documentation from where or who had these coins last. Of course this is true about guns, knives, computers, TV sets, and almost anything else. I'm sure there are a lot of people finding all sorts of coins in change from those machines and banks. Most people never say anything about  that though for a just in case situation. Remember there are 300,000,000 people in the USA now and not all of them are on this forum so what you hear is a real, small, tiny fraction of what is found. Sure would be interesting to find out where those coins were last though.[/QUOTE]
