I feel bad now.
The only one that "touches"

I have sorted through them. Found my first circulated log cabin that way. Whenever I "take" something, I always "leave" something of much greater value (a few more cents, nickel, dime, whatever I have on me).

The only one that "touches" haha. Growing up, I always had this guilty feeling when in stores... I felt like I was being scrutinized for stealing... and so I never even lifted a penny swedish fish. I guess I have a guilty conscience. |

I glance at them but dont usually sift through them. I noticed a Wheat cent face down in a tip jar yesterday but it didn't feel appropriate for me to ask to look at it at the time. It could have been that ever elusive 1909-S VDB that I need. :P |

I voted no. I can't bring myself to do it. Not sure why.

I look through, and rifle through, them all of the time! Never pass up an opportunity! But if I take something I always replace it, and tell the cashier what I am doing. Yet to come across a cashier that cares.

Yes. I gave a nickel for a really nice 1972S the other day.

I look but don't touch, unless I see something interesting after asking the person behind the counter.

I look but don't touch, but at the PO I donate to my clerk now and then when I need to pay in change from my ashtray from the car or truck. I take the whole ashtray in with me. LOL! So if I look and see something in there he would let me have it. At the smoke shop down the street, I would ask if I could swap but wouldn't just take or poke around.

I'm with coppernickeldaddy, I have actually paid for my meal sat at the booth closest to the register and sorted through the whole jar(with permission of course). When I had swapped out several coins the cashier (wasn't busy) went through the till and I got 2 star notes to boot.

I just pulled a 1942-D Wheatie out of a 'GAP-TAP' (Give A Penny, Take A Penny) tray a few days ago!  Keep in mind that I've left two LP1 Log Cabin Cents in GAP-TAP's (obverse up). During my big hunt for LP1 Cents for my co-workers, I found two of them that were already down to AU condition. Since I saved only BU coins for my co-workers, I figured I'd leave any AU's in GAP-TAP's. And they weren't bad, or even spotty, they just had a bit of circulation wear on them. |

I wonder how many people leave common date wheaties in there on purpose?
