While dumping coin at the machine, an old gent of about 80 came in to the CU. In his hands the old guy had a good-sized box. He came up to the machine and looking bewildered, asks me "how do ya use one a these gadgets?"
I looked at the teller and smiled, "I'll show ya how."
"This is from my sister's estate, she passed recently."
My heart started racing as I observed small purses and a couple plastic containers of coin. The old man began to open purses and right away I see clad dimes pouring into the hopper. I asked if he minded, could I look to see what else he had. Clad quarters. Newer nickels. Gold Presidential dollars (in airtites.)
Bummer. I wished the old gent good luck, and continued on my way.

That was almost the proverbial "story of a lifetime," until it hung a left and went south just before the grand finale. Too bad!

Like the old saying goes, "So close and yet so far..."
