ASE was by itself in the drawer's fifth coin space (which were commonly used for Halves before they faded from circulation, and now cashiers will put Dollar coins there)
I always try to check out that 5th slot when I am in a retail establishment. It can be awkward trying to be inconspicuous, though. Sometimes if I can tell just from a glance that there are unusual items in that slot, I will come right out and ask, something like "May I ask what kind of coins those are?" I haven't been refused an answer yet. Of course, I wouldn't ask if there was a line behind me!
