<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PittsburghMom, post: 3251983, member: 34903&quot;]I&#039;m really sorry that your book was stolen Randy. If it&#039;s any consolation, most likely the thief didn&#039;t even know what they had. A long time ago, when I was @ 15, I was working as a cashier in VA Beach and had an individual that came by several times that week for fast food. He was paying with very unusual looking old coins, including a gold $1 coin. I didn&#039;t know anything about coins at that time, so he looked surprised that he only got a few pennies back in change for his large sweet tea.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not sure how many he used that week for other purchases, but I know that I saw at least a 1/2 dozen and one of my regular customers must&#039;ve received one (or more) in their change because they were really excited and gifted me with a pack of gum and a special &quot;rare&quot; penny later that same week which likely got used shortly thereafter. Unfortunately, I knew nothing about coins back then or even that they were likely stolen. The only consolation is that the thief seemed to know just as little about them as I did and I doubt they stayed in circulation for very long. Hopefully they were at least insured.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
