The best thing about paying in cash is receiving coin back! I just made a return at the mall and was looking at my change when I got home. I found an American Samoa P quarter and a dateless Buffalo nickel.

Some one must of dropped a bunch of dateless Buffalo nickels in circulation for fun. I have had two co-workers show me the coins and ask about them as they had never seen one before. Every once in a while I unload a batch of culls usually V nickels for fun. Yes, I enjoy going through my change when I get it back. People often wonder what in the world am I looking at for so long. If only they knew!

Quote: The best thing about paying in cash is receiving coins back! Today: Two BU LP4's, a BU LP3 and a BU LP1 (all D's) and an XF 1950 Wheat cent, all received in my change! The card machines were running slowly at the grocery store last night. I got through the checkout line 60 to 90 seconds faster than anyone else there, guess why?!  I bought a spare computer today, and I got $10 off for paying with cash! ( and the 1950 Wheat cent in my change!  )

Someone paid for gas at my store with this :  In case you can't see (I had to reduce the scan to fit the limit), it's a 1934C. Joe

That note, when new, had about $320 worth of purchasing power in today's Dollars. Now it bought not even a full tank of gas....

I don't know which is better, the silver or the pancakes... I vote Mama's Breakfast

My 2 best finds this week, first I fold a 1901 Indian head in a roll from the bank. The best was a nice new $20 bill on the sink in Lowes.

Two more cash register finds:   The 1965 is much nicer in person. And the Walker has a lot of shine as well... Joe

That 1936-S Walker is an awesome find, homer!  I got a 1963-D Roosie today, can't complain too much!  I don't have too many 1963's in my 'junk silver Dimes from circulation' stash, the 1964-D Dimes outnumber the rest of the Date/MM's combined! (I even have more 1960,'61, and '62 Dimes than I do '63's  )
