Double Mint Pillar of the Community United States 810 Posts	Posted 05/23/2009 11:28 pm Im sure most of you glance around vending machines or etc.. to see if any change laying around. I do too and I usually find some coins quarters etc.... Well anyways I got lucky a while ago when getting a pop. I looked down and noticed a quarter under vending machine. Then I noticed a dime with no clad underneath the machine. So here I am laying on the ground reaching for this dime hoping it wasnt foreign and people walking by looking at me weird lol. I grabbed it looked at it and eyes opened wide sure enough it was silver. It was a 1953 franklin . I will say it was definitely unusual to find a silver dime under vending machine lol. So all in all 15 dollars for gas, 10 dollars for game, 1.50 for pop, and a silver dime. The look on my face (priceless) Report this Post to the Staff

WpgLwr Pillar of the Community Canada 1082 Posts	Posted 05/24/2009 4:26 pm Oh yeah. When I was in college about 13 years ago, I found out very quickly that under pop machines is a primo place to find money. Behind them is good, too. Report this Post to the Staff
