In the donation box of Tim Hortons. It was a 1959 but the cashier didn't have the key for it  I would have given a dollar for it  |

I had that exact thing happen to me at mc Donald's and I a week later got the manager to dump all the coins out all over the counter and I got it. Around a month later I saw one of the same year in the charity box at Tim Horton's, 1964 and I asked them how I could get it and they said the manager comes in the morning, I never got it but you have a chance though... I think. Just ask them who has the key and they will say the manager then ask them when the manager is there. Please please try this because if it goes to the bank no one will probably ever see it again because it will get melted. Good luck.  |

Didn't cross my mind to ask who has the keys, I just assumed that a person from the charity place will come get it (now that I think back, that was dumb). I'll try asking next time I see something interesting. Or with some luck it's still there when I return. I don't go to Tim's a lot though, but I'll be heading out at 7.30 tomorrow and I'll try going there.

I still find them in bank rolls from time to time. With the alloy recovery program in place I only see magnetic coins coming from some banks but CIBCs around here have the good unsearched rolls with a little bit of everything in them.

The date on the dime was 1959. My bad. I guess I read "it was 1959" not "it was a 1959" Edited by zxcccxz

I just turned 17 last August, so I doubt I'm even old enough to remember nickel coinage being produced if I had lived here. Seeing 17 and August in the same sentence makes me bring this out:  It's a yellowed pin that still works, who knows how long it's been there with the Ned Indies money from my grandma? Sorry I got sidetracked... I always get distracted by something. |

I remember my first silver :). It was an 1860 Seated Liberty quarter. Granted in VG condition, but still exciting. Ever since then I've been collecting civil war and pre-civil war era coins. |

The worst is Royal bank everything I get from there is magnetic, zero non mag. By the way my account is not at CIBC but they see me so often I think they figure I'm a client. lol

Strange but true...The weirdest coin finds we've made have been at a Tim Horton's. Even un-circulated set coins like the o Canada quarter twice!

They didn't have the key! Quote:

I just got $30 in rolled dimes from TD (for a joke of me paying residence community fees in the smallest coin there is) and I hope there's something interesting. I also got something else that's really great. Show you guys later when I get back to my room. |
