Andrew99 CCF Advertiser United States 1533 Posts	Posted 04/22/2016 3:02 pm I am amazed that you can find even silver Roosevelts in change today, much less a Barber dime. When I was a kid, I used to go to a bank, ask for $200 from my savings in dime, half, and quarter rolls, go to the library, pick out and replace the silver ones, and take the rolls to a different bank. At 8 x face, you could make $5-$10 an hour doing that, which was a heck of a lot easier than a paper route. No more. Report this Post to the Staff

Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10038 Posts	Posted 04/22/2016 3:23 pm Incredible find for sure! Even back in the 60s-70s, when a kid and looking through change weekly from my Granfather's laundromats, I never found a Barber. Mercury? Yes. In fact, surprisingly, they showed up in change more than I would have thought they should. Though a couple years ago a co-worker mentioned a Canadian nickel in the till. Turned out to be a V-nickel How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?
