n9jig Pillar of the Community United States 997 Posts	Posted 07/26/2015 11:32 pm Stopped by my local gas station convenience store yesterday and in the charity box next to the cash-wrap were at lease a dozen Ike's. along with a dozen or more halves and a bunch of golden dollars. As far as I could see there were no silver coins in there. I asked the cashier about it and he said there are a couple retirees that often use these coins and leave others in the box. That is exactly the same response I heard from a Walgreen's cashier a month or so ago down the road. I told him if he ever found them in his cash drawer (other than the goldens that is...) save them for me and I will buy them. While I doubt I will ever get any silver this way, one never knows. Plus the Ike's are just so cool since they are so huge. Report this Post to the Staff
