0xDA71D Pillar of the Community United States 1215 Posts	Posted 01/03/2015 11:13 pm Does anyone toss cull IHCs, wheat pennies and buffalo/v nickels into change? I am referring to coins not currently used. Report this Post to the Staff

Buffalow Valued Member United States 105 Posts	Posted 01/04/2015 12:07 am I don't. I bought slotted lids for Mason jars and toss all my pocket change in those. Then I "salt" the jars with cull coins so the kids will have something to get excited about when they rummage through grandpa's coin jars. They love doing that so I'm thinking it's about time to get them a bunch of coin folders. Edited by Buffalow 01/04/2015 12:09 am Report this Post to the Staff

Connicoins Valued Member United States 118 Posts	Posted 01/04/2015 06:36 am This topic has exposed me new ideas as to getting my almost 5 yr old more interested into what I do. He already opens rolls of pennies and pulls out the shields for me. I will get him his own Coin books to start when he turns five for his birthday. Conner has even set up his own sorting table in my office...gotta love this kid ! Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 01/04/2015 08:51 am I am in the process of recycling about $400 worth of culls back into circulation via pocket change. In my case the bulk of the denominations are 50 cent pieces. Although they are the same size as Kennedys, they are much easier to recirculate and are normally accepted. I will use most of them to buy fuel. Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 01/05/2015 5:54 pm With the metal detected wheaties, I would sell them as a bulk lot on ebay. Surely you could get more than one cent per coin. Even if you loose a bit because of ebay fees and shipping, they would still be going to someone who would be interested in them.

I bought them as a lot, and I have already cherry picked them Report this Post to the Staff
Debrajc Pillar of the Community United States 4211 Posts	Posted 01/05/2015 8:28 pm I recently spent some V Nickles and IH Pennies at McDonalds and the local convenience stores. It's fun to release them for someone else to find Report this Post to the Staff
fistfulladirt Pillar of the Community United States 4333 Posts	Posted 01/08/2015 05:17 am I send all cull buffalo and IH's into the wild. My dug wheats (you can't hurt a common wheat by cleaning), I keep, as I can sell later, for at least 3-4c ea. When I listen to LED ZEPPELIN...so do my neighbors...

Bud250r Pillar of the Community United States 827 Posts	Posted 01/08/2015 07:56 am I give them to the kids at the school where I work. Try to get them interested. They always seem excited. Report this Post to the Staff
just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 01/08/2015 11:15 am I save all my change and put in a large can. When it gets full I dump in some really common old coins or ones with no dates. Then to the bank they all go. Report this Post to the Staff
