[QUOTE="clembo, post: 504569, member: 8033"]In my days working at businesses which handled cash I did have the occasional find. Got a full roll about 8 years ago but believe me that was a fluke. Of course the chances have gone down. The high pitched "ting" of silver grabs a lot of people's attention so they keep it. People started saving silver coinage in 1965 when you get down to it. I see it when silver is high at work. These same people bring in bags of the stuff at times. Basically what I'm saying is that a LOT of the stuff was put away not long after clad came into circulation. Th fact that I see a lot high end AU and BU later dates only confirms this. People also save things that look weird like wheat cents. I've had too many instances when people walk in talking about the "silver penny" they got. I ask them if it's a 1943 and they're amazed. How did he know?!? I still look at my change and always will. There are still finds to be made but nothing like the past. This is what got me into collecting paper money as well. There's a lot more to be found IF you know what to look for.[/QUOTE]
