...you pull into the McDonald's drive-up to get a cup of coffee, and when you spot a Wheat penny in the change, you pull back around, and say, "I forgot, I need 25 pennies for this quarter."

You start digging in your kid's pockets to see what change he got from the school cafeteria.

You ask the waitress who just served you lunch if she has a pocket full of change that she would like to get rid of.

You buy $58 worth of change from the snack bar in your building, lock your office door and search through it for 2 hrs. Not that I'd ever do that on the clock.

....when the Starbucks manager knew that I would like to see the
"Real Silver Dollar" (40% "S" Bicentennial Ike) that she bought out of the till!

She had not known that 40% silver coins existed, it turns out that she

I have some friends that own a gas station... I've toyed with the idea of asking to go through their change but never worked up the nerve


But just think, your 1916 D Merc could be in their change!

(It's worth asking! They already know you collect coins, right?)

you carry 3-4 rolls of searched pennies around in your jacket pocket so that any business you go to you can always trade someone a roll or two or three or four.
