At my local convenience store one of the clerks in particular finds it cumbersome to have half dollars (or dollar coins ) in his drawer at the end of his shift. Why? Who knows? Who cares? Certainly not me!  And to be perfectly honest I don't feel the need to " clue " him in either!!    *** Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. *** |

Amazing, isn't it? First thing I learned when I got a job with a cash register was to glean the wheat cents, silver coins, and older paper money at the end of my shift. My parents bought the silver at face, and the wheat cents and paper money I sold to a fellow student and a guy at our church, making a small profit. I made Two Cents for each Wheat cent, and the currency guy was a fair buyer, about $1.25 per dollar. |

Nice!
It's a great thing to get a 90% silver coin at under a tenth of its melt value! It's relatively easy to do some nice coin hunting in the USA, here it's almost impossible given that the oldest legal tender coins are from 1999 (no silver).

The same clerks that spend their grandfather's coin collection.

The same clerks that spend their grandfather's coin collection. The same clerks that can't make change without the computerized cash-resister telling them!   Nice find Coinvirgin!  A little acetone might take those milk spots off the Rev. |

Always fun to find silver at face value for sure!

Well, I wouldn't be too hard on the clerk. Most people don't care one way or the other about coins. Nothing wrong with that.

I find if you are friendly to most cashiers they will give you what ever they find in their draw.

Just because you have specific knowledge about coins that someone else doesn't, doesn't make them worthy of venom and vitriol. I like to think the CCF is above the curse of the internet, that being the tendency to use anonymity to disparage others. |

I've got to retire and get a part-time job with a cash register involved! I worked as a clerk in a pharmacy for about three years, and had free reign over the cash registers and their contents. I have to tell you, while I did find some coins worth saving, there actually wasn't that much. That was 30 years ago, when you could still find wheaties and the very occasional silver dime. I would suspect that there's even less items of interest in registers these days. |
