I agree with titan. I like getting a good deal now and then, but wouldn't feel right with taking some elderly persons coins.

I'm know it's sad but I see this play out every day of the week I've become numb to it. The plus side to this, the coin windup in my hands a collector who will appreciate them. Imagine if he wld of dumb them in the coin-star, or a teller who wld of just pop them out from books & placed in a coin tray

It is a point work making. Better in your hands than in the collection bucket inside a Coinstar.

Definitely hold them and offer them back to him when you see him again.

If he declines on more than 2 separate visits I would call them yours karma free at that point.

About what I'd say.
This happens a lot more than people realize. So many elderly people just don't have a large savings and Social Security is one thing but so many don't realize that they take out for taxes and Medicare. Then they get hit with more taxes when they buy stuff.
