I have a lot of culls and I'm not sure what to do with them. They're dirty, and really yucky. So I'm wondering why people often keep culls.
Rest in Peace

Cull what? Silver dollars, minor coins, steel cents, V nickels, large cents? Makes a difference.

Bury 'em!, then make a map and leave it decades from now...
someday someone will find it and go crazy looking for the treasure. By the time they find it the coins will be worth a lot more money!
Even if they are culls-well maybe, depending on how bad they are

Sort of what I was thinking. Like walking into the middle of a conversation. Large culls? Front? reverses? on all coins? US coins? How about on a $2 bill?
Explain and get lots of real answers.

A heavily circulated (smooth) or a damaged coin that has very little collector interest or value other than melt value.

OOps! My bad. I'm talking about Wheat culls. They come in green gunk, white gunk, rust, and all that good stuff.

Yes I would call that barber a cull, a silver cull but a cull none the less.

Put them all in a bag and take them to the bank. Should go through a coin counter, maybe.
Or give to some kids and let them play with them.
Or put in those collection things for the Salvation Army.
Or drill holes in them and use as fishing weights.
Mainly stop collecting them.
