I don't know what was with my branch, but I have two mint rolls of 2010 dimes and I also came across several high-grade to AU 2009 dimes. I have no idea what to do with any of these. If anyone is looking to trade, hit me up with a PM.

My year and a half or so of checking coinstar machines finally paid off. I stopped at a supermarket to use the facilities, and checked the coinstar on the way out. There was a 2 eurocent and a 1964 dime in XF sitting on the machine!

Been roll searching cents for a couple of years and average about 1 wheat for every 5 rolls. Yesterday I picked up $40 worth at the bank and got 287 wheat cents. A lot better than my 15 average.

Today: 1994 South Africa 5 Rand in place of a Quarter.

Today's exchange rate = 5 ZAR = 68¢ U.S.

Today: My first 2010-D Nickel in change (at lunch).

It gets better:

A loaf of bread on the way home = A 2010-P Nickel!

(for those that don't live in Denver, let me state that the odds of
getting any current year BU "P" coin in your change in Denver are
only slightly better than for Bigfoot parking a spaceship in your backyard!)

This happened a few months ago, but a great story for this thread. I was hanging out at the local coin shop and a guy walks in with 2 rolls of Franklin half dollars. He hands them to the dealer to find out what he can sell them for. The dealer asked, "How long have you had them?" The man replies "I got them about 30 minutes ago. A guy at the gas station paid for his gas with them, and I bought them from the clerk". DOH! Why does this never happen to me, LOL.

At first I was thinking "just another 1964 nickel" but wow, that one looks great!

Nice find on the silver quarter, too!

Gothic Florin, am wondering where youyr Euro 2 Cent is from? I got one recently and I finally googled it only to find out that they are from different countries, each country has their own country design for one side of them. Mine was a 2002 are from ITALY!! That was a fun coin to come into my hands.

I picked up a box of nickels and a box of pennies. While I was at the counter I noticed that the teller had a silver half dollar in her coin rack. So I asked for $5 in halves. It turned out that I got two 40% Kennedy halves.
