Found a couple of Italian Euros coins in the discard slot of one of those Coinstar machines at my local supermarket. Usually you may find some canadian pennies or a nickel in there, but I always look when I walk past.

When I collected Aust dollar coins (exchange with the bank) I often got US quarters, NZ $2 and $E1 Euros.

I thought this tidbit of information might be of interest. I started "Interesting Finds From Circulation" on two other forums. Just out of curiosity, I checked on them today, and here's what I found. Coin Talk -- 1,220 replies, 35,185 views CCF -- 1,291 replies, 45,119 views It's likely to be years before we reach those numbers, but who knows.  |

Finally received a Presidential dollar in change! What? You have to ask for them? Anyway...it was actually my Husband that received it in change. He brought it home to me...handed it to me and then...........as I was turning it over to see which Pres it is - I dropped it and it rolled under the stove! So much for the condition now. I've been sick with the flu and I guess that I couldn't even hold onto a coin! Oh my! Anywho...it's Mr. Jefferson which I didn't have until now. Yippee! (ps: Am feeling much better today)

Went into a bank today and as usual, I looked at the tray of coins across the counter that the teller hands out in change. What the...? A silver rimmed coin in the quarter trough? I asked for it and got it....a 1944(p) silver quarter. Since silver is around $14.68/oz now (NY), it was nice to get $2.70 in silver for only 25c. ($14.68/oz equates to 10.8 X face value for a 90% silver U S A coin.)

1996 JFK Half Dollar, D, AU. Seldom get Kennedy Half Dollars. Wish they would get rid of the $1 bill, and I bet the Kennedys would start circulating again. Well, at least the new dollars. |

Only one they had. I asked. Funny thing though. I remember as recently as a couple years ago, the bank always seemed to have several. I just wasn't into IKE collecting. You don't see them anymore, and that's why I'm happy I grabbed that one. |
