I have carried a '78 ike and a '97
Kennedy half in my coin purse for 20+ years. The
Kennedy half was a "tip" from a customer back in 1997 - little toddly old man who loved his coins and was just in love with the fact that the teenager helping him, loved coins too. The ike was a coin my grandfather loved. Occasionally they slip out and I have to hunt for them, in hindsight they should probably both be in my jewelry box.
