<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 2364583, member: 27832&quot;]Started collecting in Maryland in the very late 1960s. I was just a little kid, so I didn&#039;t see a lot of money in circulation, but I remember the occasional Canadian dime (still mostly silver), and wheat cents weren&#039;t that unusual. Most of the US silver was already gone by then, though, so it was pretty much Lincoln Memorial, Jefferson, Roosevelt, Washington, Kennedy. I do think that war nickels were still floating around a bit at that point.</p><p><br /></p><p>When the Ikes appeared, my grandparents starting giving them as birthday money. I think the last &quot;bank full of dollars&quot; I got from my grandmother was SBAs. (In fact, I think I came across it in the attic a year or two ago -- it still held 20 SBAs, and 50 dimes. Oddly, all the dimes were 1972, I think, and appeared uncirculated.)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
