<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 209238, member: 4552"]Many possible reasons. In some areas people are out of jobs and dig out the old jar of coins put aside for a rainy day and spend them. Others appear as criminals rob coin collections and spend the coins as just coins. common around where I live. I've talked to people that say they collected coins as a kid and then found the old Whitman folder in a closet and dumped the coins in a bank. Numerous kids in school chem classes experiment on making an old penny (cent) look like new and then put back in circulation. That is one we did by the hundreds both in high school and college. Then naturally there are banks that close due to one reason or other and bags of coins in thier vaults get spread out to other banks. Happened to two banks I used to get bags of cents from. </p><p>Of course you could have found some coins from the penny fairy that uses magic to make all coins look pretty. :whistle: But don't tell anyone I told you. :secret:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
