ya gotta love jobs that puts you in daily contact with lots of coin.

And I think a bar would be a great place to find old coins. Sad to say, some people NEED to get their booze fix, and will scrape up $$ to get it.

I'm a smoker, and when I was broke in the past, I'd spend coins I shouldn't have. When I was a dumb kid, I cracked open proof sets to buy smokes. *bangs head on desk* :P

A '49 nickel is better than a '64 nickel.... :P

worked last night and pulled a 1940 nickel from my drawer. that's better than the '49. i always enjoy finding the older coins. seems like nobody pays attention anymore.
