Longstanding issue in CT. One of the 'richest' states, so we are prone to these events.

What a magnificent son to be proud of!
NOT.
I regard the drug dealer as the main enemy of the family, and I would do anything necessary under police guidance, to have him convicted.
As a father, the coins involved would have been of little relevence for me.
This is the sort of mentality I instilled into my kids, even before they started elementry school.

With what? Civil War era bills? I think he "found" some $5 1896 Educationals to use.  I don't know which is worse, stealing the coins or using the stolen coins to buy drugs. |

Piece of Dung would be out of my house. Nothing worse than a Drug Addict. I'm sure the father knew he had a problem and tried to help him. Who knows I certainly don't but I do know what I would do.

You can try to help them, but they need to realize they have a problem. Some people you just cannot help. |
