<p>[QUOTE="bugo, post: 1921192, member: 53226"]I've had several strange coincidences lately involving coins. The most memorable is the day that I opened a roll of nickels at work and found a 1943-P war nickel. I first saw the obverse and thought "cool, a '40s nickel!" then I thought "wait a minute...." and flipped it over and saw that iconic P mintmark above Monticello. I also found a 1946 nickel in the same roll. The very next roll I opened also contained a 1943-P and a 1946 nickel. That was strange.</p><p><br /></p><p>The second one that pops in my head is the graveyard shift that a customer came in and was short 10 cents and said that he would bring the 10 cents later that night.

I had totally forgotten about it and was cleaning the cappuccino machine when he came into the store and put a dime on the counter. I didn't even look at the dime initially, I was just surprised that he came back to bring it. I went behind the counter and saw the dime and remembered it and noticed that it looked unusual.
