<p>[QUOTE=&quot;swhuck, post: 837145, member: 21044&quot;]Man, you beat me to the punch with the truck stop. I drove for five years. And no, I don&#039;t miss it. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Anyhow, every so often I used to see elongated cent machines at truck stops around the country during the short time I was running 48 states. Once in a while, there would be some actual coins (usually at ridiculous prices), but I remember putting a quarter into a bubblegum machine in one out of the way truck stop that had coins in plastic containers. As expected, I got crap (a couple of common wheat cents), but the story fits the thread quite well.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>One other place comes to mind. In London, they have a coin show with maybe 20 or so dealers set up every Saturday in one of the lower levels of a car park. While I&#039;ve bought many, many coins at coin shows, most of them don&#039;t take place in parking garages. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> And the prices at this show were at least semi-reasonable, in contrast to what I saw at the shops I ran across in town.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
