Dottir Pillar of the Community Canada 864 Posts	Posted 10/10/2010 10:31 pm I think I'll get in the habit of asking store clerks if they have any 50 cent pieces or older ones and twos notes in the til when I'm paying at checkouts. Sometimes shoppers do spend them when short of funds. The other day I stopped and bought a lotto ticket in a mall lotto kiosk and the woman sold me a couple of rolls of nickels and dimes. She was GLAD for me to take them off her hands so she didn't have to count them at the end of her shift. She said I HATE CHANGE! That could be good for me! Report this Post to the Staff

Last year someone turned in TWO mint rolls of halves and an envelope of dollars(Nickel) I just asked all the tellers and got them. By the way, 4 of the halves had mint errors. I kept those.The rest I gave to my wife to spend. So, just keep on asking you would be surprised what people "take to the bank" Report this Post to the Staff
coinsnpaper Valued Member Canada 480 Posts	Posted 10/12/2010 8:06 pm Last Month I went to the bank and got $110 in nickel halves and dollars- $80 in halves alone. I am hoping to find the customer who brought these in, because almost all -90% plus- were errors- missing A of AD on the motto, mising E of MARE or of USQUE. missing or very weak TS, missing boughs in the wreath. It was quite incredible. I am going to have to go through the others again, and look harder, as I suspect they were all put aside as varieties. These were mostly 1968 and 1969 issues, when the mint was still having trouble strikinbg the nickel coins- they took more prssure, as nickel is much harder than silver, but there were some up to 1985.. Yes, my bank does save these for me, as they say noone else is interested in the strange ones. Report this Post to the Staff
Dottir Pillar of the Community Canada 864 Posts	Posted 10/13/2010 12:09 am I really REALLY want to start playing in the bigger amounts coins but it just isn't in my budget these days and that won't change in the nearer future, barring the unexpected. Maybe I'll find a "Lucky Penny" to sell and get me started though, you never know. they do circulate in change [;D] I NEVER have noticed or received 50 cent pieces in change and don't know that stores receive them. I know with pennies, the stores hate them and some stores have policies against taking more than a few (and legally don't have to take more than 25 at a time) Getting rolls of loonies and toonies from the bank is no problem to spend in the stores though. I now search all coins from my change from stores too, looking for special dates or varieties as I'm learning to identify them and what to look for. Do any of you regularly spend 50 cent pieces in stores? Just curious. Report this Post to the Staff
legion1349 New Member Canada 34 Posts	Posted 10/15/2010 02:17 am Personally I have never received a 50 cent coin in my change (my brother did ONCE at the Toronto airport). But whenever I get some from the banks I always bring em home, check for errors, varieties, etc... before passing them back out. Do I regularly spend them you ask....I would say no...What I do is I hoard them until I've got enough to make a bill and then I'll spend them. Report this Post to the Staff
