kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 05/30/2018 10:48 pm Other than my brown box, the dozen or so Ikes I have came from circulation, so yes, they circulated at least as far as me. This one came from my mother-in-law in Thailand. She worked for 20+ years as an accountant for the US Embassy in Bangkok. This one circulated at least 17,420 miles. As far as daily commerce, I know many of the ones I have came from working in an ice cream parlor around 1974-77. People did spend them on ice cream. Report this Post to the Staff

DeputyMax Valued Member United States 424 Posts	Posted 05/30/2018 11:40 pm Apparently some may still be circulating on occasion. A Couple of weeks ago I was at a convenience store and asked the guy behind the counter if he had any dollar or half dollar coins he wanted to get rid of (doesn't hurt to ask). He gave me this Ike with my change. I was thinking maybe he'd have an SBA or Sac dollar and never thought he'd have any Ikes. While not a pristine example, this one will circulate no more, as it's now a part of my collection. Report this Post to the Staff
MontCollector Pillar of the Community United States 2403 Posts	Posted 05/31/2018 01:35 am I got one in change from my LCS in Idaho last time I was there. It was a 1978 Ike with a sticker on both sides advertising the coin shop. I was thinking about posting it but didn't want it to seem like I was promoting the coin shop. Report this Post to the Staff
