[QUOTE="Inspector43, post: 3296565, member: 89213"]Until I started this task I hadn't realized how much stuff I had accumulated. After I got hooked I went full blast; in my hometown there were Mom & Pop stores everywhere. I knew the owners of all those close to me. This was in the late 40's and all through the 50's. I walked to and from school. On the way home I would stop at some of the stores and look through their change. They knew me and didn't even look up. I would open the register and look through the change. Swap out what I wanted and move on. On Saturday mornings I would go to one of the local banks. The tellers had to count and roll all their change by hand. I would sit on the floor of the vault and do it for them. Watch for coins and swap them. I know it sounds strange, but back then there was more trust and I was well known. There were other places where high volumes of change were used. One was the Amusement Part. I helped them close quite often and rolled change for them. The definition of 'the good old days'.[/QUOTE]
