[QUOTE="clembo, post: 311860, member: 8033"]I got to thinking today and that can be dangerous in itself. As currency collectors (this is the paper forum before I get any remarks), many of us have had to pass up a note or, in my case, thousands of dollars worth at face value. Many of you know of my truck stop days. Yes, I passed up larger denominations all of the time just because I didn't have the money to spare. Star notes? Thousands of dollars worth I can assure you and I still have a few thousand face in stars so figure just how many I saw. Now the REAL SCARY part. I DID NOT collect currency at all when I started there or at previous jobs where I handled fairly large amounts of cash. I used to COMPLAIN when we would run into strap after strap of CU Consecutive notes! Hey, those are tough to handle when you need to balance so we would intentionally "crinkle" them up for ease of separation. Who knows what I may have passed up without knowing. I may have been crinkling CU web notes and 295 errors INTENTIONALLY. When I DID get into currency I did find many CU consecutive star notes. Wonder how many packs I may have let go as change. A true horror story and hope I never have the opportunity to answer my questions. What do y'all think? clembo[/QUOTE]
