Message:: [QUOTE="Eric Babula, post: 3498108, member: 85976"]Setting aside the following from my small "hoard" to release into the wild: 50 Wheaties, 30 IHCs, 10 Steelies (that's all I have!), 60 V Nickels, 60 Buffalo Nickels, 30 Mercury Dimes. So far, I dropped a few in a Walmart parking lot and hid some in the kids' section of Walmart (under boxes of glitter makeup, or easy bake ovens, or with the baseball mits, etc.). I have also been feeding Buffs, Mercs and V Nickels in the coin return of our candy and soda machines at work. I wonder who is finding them, and what they're thinking! I also created two little baggies for one of my co-workers to give to his two kids (he has a collection, and has tried to spark interest in them, though they are young, yet), with a little write-up of the different coins I put in each bag. I don't use cash much, so it's going to be hard to spend all of this! So, I'm trying different things. I'll spend some. But, if I can't get rid of this stuff during this week, I'll be sure to slowly keep dumping them into circulation until they're all gone. Happy hunting, everyone! Actually, more than anything, I'm hoping some parents are allowing their kids to find all these coins (across the country) in pocket change, or whatever, and helping them learn about these old coins![/QUOTE]
