Back story: I work at a certain airport, in the gate area (past security), as a cashier. One would think that being in an isolated environment, you wouldn't find any surprises...but there are some. (Just wanted to have this thread for a good read and show that airports aren't that stressful and boring ) Also, we get a mixture of paper and plastic rolls for coins.

Recent finds include...

-1905 IHC (apparently from a customer, as per my coworker..it was just casually laying on her register, reverse side up)
-1964 dime from a random paper roll (plus a 64-D from a few months ago)
-2009 $1 FRN with the serial number K 00009425 C
-Canadian Twoonie that had been renting out space under one of the register monitors for a week.
-1945-S nickel which I spotted in another coworkers till has he was counting his money
-1937 nickel pretty much in Fine condition (full date, half of the horn). That's the second one I've found from a roll at work.
-1949-S nickel
-All of the 2009 quarters (with some multiples...which need rid of lol) except for Denver's Guam. And all Philly ATB up to Glacier (a nice customer handed over his D-mint Grand Canyon the other day)
-2002-P, both 2009 and 2010 Sacs.
-Acquired 2011-dated mint rolls of cents, nickels and dimes

Now, I'm wondering how many of those coins were spent by TSA agents who 'probed' them out of grandma's underclothes?

Reminds me of when I was transiting through the US and used the opportunity to get as many US coins as I had change. The workers did not really know what I was talking about "state quarters? What are they?"

^^I can only imagine..on both parts!

Latest finds...

* About four more silver dimes, one inexplicably given with exact change from a customer....and two were not 64s! WOW.
* 1937 Buffalo nickel
* A 1943-P nickel in nice shape, maybe XFish, but looks like it got eaten by some verdigris.
* Euro cents, one from a customer, others found randomly.
* A Colombian 50 peso piece that this guy let fall out of his wallet and left it on the counter. (I would too, with 2.8 cents as the conversion rate)
* South African 5 [cent] coin in a roll
* All ATB issues, both mints, up to Vicksburg....but still no sign of a Denver-minted Guam (or an 09-D nickel).
* Almost forgot about the horribly corroded 1938-D Jefferson, as if about the whole first layer peeled away and the rest rusted.
