Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 08/22/2015 10:37 am Are SBA's getting harder to find now? I have been contemplating dumping most of mine into circulation, but I might hold off if I can expect $1.10 each like I can for Ikes. I had a few rolls of BU Prez $, but those were cracked open, searched and dumped when $100 meant the difference between paying my full credit card balance or going into debt. Star notes were also a focus of mine a few years ago. Again, those were the first to go when money got tight. Report this Post to the Staff
CalzoneManiac Pillar of the Community United States 2233 Posts	Posted 08/22/2015 10:44 am I can never find Bicentennial quarters anymore. It's been years since I've gotten one in change. Is it because of the hoarding? Report this Post to the Staff
Bertensgrad Pillar of the Community United States 1192 Posts	Posted 08/22/2015 11:12 am I keep all the 2009 cents in what I term my fun box I don't find many so it's not too much of a space issue or $.. It's coins I accumulate that I don't mind my younger cousins go through and take some out for their collections. All my modern foreign coins get dumped in it too. I figure one day someone will get a huge kick finding it. Report this Post to the Staff
n9jig Pillar of the Community United States 997 Posts	Posted 08/22/2015 5:35 pm I almost never spend coins, I Just bring it home and sort it out. When I am in Canada (couple times a year usually) I might spend some of the coins but they always get well searched before I do... I have a small dish I keep on my desk next to the computer. When I go through my change at the end of the day I toss any "keepers" in there. When it gets full I sort and put them away. For cents that I have saved I have a couple hundred-tube boxes for US and another box for Canada that I use. For Wheats from 41 and newer I have a tube for each year and separate tubes for certain year's "D" and "S" coins. For 60's and 70's cents I have tubes for each decade and add new ones as they get filled. 80 and 81 have separate tubes, 82 has 4 (Copper and Zinc, "P" and "D"). Eventually when I am bored enough to do the work I will separate the 60's and 70's cents into individual years. For Canadian cents I have separate tubes for each year and for the zinc/copper/steel varieties when they have more than one for that year. For US Nickels of the 40's and 50's I have separate tubes for each year/mintmark. I also have tubes for US Bicentennial quarters. All other "Keepers", including halves that I have saved, any SBA or Ike dollars, pre-40 nickels and cents, Canadian 5C and up as well as foreign coins get put into 2x2's and in binders.
