Interesting Finds From Circulation

[scottishmoney]

It has been many moons since I have gotten an Ike at the bank, I managed to accumulate about 500 or so of them before they started disappearing.

Found a Bradman 20c in the till at work today. First one I have seen in a while.

[Topher]

I don't think I've handled a single coin yet in circulation this year!  LOL

Good Old WalMart!!

Two Sacagaweas in change.

Both 2000.  One P mint and one D.

The Philadelphia was BU, and the Denver mint had turned the color of a penny (ooops, cent).

yes, got the rolls of nickles home, went thru them, one roll showed up with five nickles from the 1940's, all pretty fine shape, surprised to find very few of the 2004 and 2005  nickles anymore.   also, two near new and shiny canadian niks, nice find for me.

Minnesota Statehood Quarter.

Two thing I thought were unusual.

First, it was BU.  Not a mark on it.

Secondly, it was a Philadelphia mint coin.

We seldom ever see P mint in Colorado, especially on new coins.

Got the new Oklahoma quarters in change, today!  they're gorgeous. Definitely one of the nicer State Quarters put out, IMO.

I got a couple of the Oklahoma quarters in change in West Palm on Tuesday, they are attractive, but I don't think of Oklahoma when I see them.

Oddly enough  I think of birds! While I do admit it is a unique design I would of pictured something more "western" or "historical" out of Oklahoma. But after selling our quarter to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway I realize anything is acceptable!

I searched through 7 $25.00 boxes of cents, with the cooperation and even
some encouragement from several of my local banks tellers over the last 4
days.  Cent boxes are getting a bit hard to find now, I do know I have
competition for them, so now you have to get in good with the tellers(one of
them collects coins, so I sell her goodies at face to save stuff for me)

So for 4 days of sifting through cents I came up with the following:

      USA

      1972-D X 2
      1974-S X 7

      1973 Lincoln cent that appears to be struck in another metal, not
magnetic, and if it is plated it was skillfully done, because it appears to
have original mint lustre still.

      6 cupronickel Roosevelt dimes masquerading as cents in hand rolled
rolls.

      CANADA
      George VI
      1940
      1941

      FRANCE
      2 €urocent dated 1999


      On Saturday I returned the Zincolns to the bank coin machine, and the
total payback came to something like $36.72 so the teller gave me the 72¢ in
change.  This would become the best find of all, a 1945 Washington quarter,
in silver of course.  I asked if she had anymore like it but alas no.

Something slightly uncommon from around here, but I just found a 1940 D in VF, which I got in change.

Scottishmoney,

What a bunch of neat finds.

Also, congratulations on your staying power.  That sounds like a lot of work.

 

[CoinCrusader42]

Sort of interesting I guess.

Just reached into my pants pocket and pulled out a Utah, Massachusetts, and Wyoming quarter.  All perfectly BU.

2008 Canada 5¢ coin.  Still no 2008 USA coins.  Since Canada helps our local economy more than the USA, and we get so much of their coinage, I think we need to become part of Canada, then my state will not get forgotten and left out of the electoral process.

Some really big winnings here!

Not exactly found in circulation. But it was moving in a circular motion in the wind?
