1. You can never drive by a bank without wondering if they have half dollars inside.


2. While on vacation, CRHing is part of it.


3. The fact that banks close early Monday thru Thursday just irritates the hell out of you.


4. Same deal with Sunday.


5. You examine any change given to you at a checkout before it goes into your pocket.


6. You also strain to look at the dime and quarter compartments in said checkout registers.


7. You get suspicious looks from bank tellers when you look over the counter to "edge search" their coins.


8. You have enough lost halves in your vehicle to purchase dinner someplace.


9. Cleaning same vehicle consists of mainly removing coin wrappers.


10. While examining change in a charity container, you are deeply saddened if you see silver inside.


11. You actually think of 'making a deal' with someone to swap 2 regular quarters for the silver one inside said container.


12. You've actually wondered the feasibility of owning 'Coinstar' type machines to get silver.


13. Tellers at your bank appear friendlier to you if you're not carrying a heavy bag into the bank.


14. Getting a silver coin in change feels like winning the lottery.


15. The thought of your grandparents bringing rolled coins to their bank is reason for enough for panic.


16. If your spouse spent your silver for face - it is justifiable grounds enough for divorce.


17. Silver clinking is better than music.


18. Gold is uglier than silver.


19. Payback for rude tellers is that their bank is now your new coin dump.


20. You wish you could stop all the old people going into the bank and buy their coin first.


21. Part of your shopping consists of checking the Coinstar reject tray.


22. Seeing the teller come out of the vault with half rolls in old wrappers escalates your heartbeat seriously.


23. You think tellers lie when they say they have no halves.


24. All you hope to hear a teller say is "All we have are these really old half dollars, you want 'em?"


25. Your dream job would be a bank teller.


26. You have seriously wished you had a time machine.


27. Or some device that would light up when you drove by a bank with silver halves in it.


28. You have opened a bank account just for CRHing.


29. You have fantasized about going to Brinks and asking for their oldest boxes of halves.


30. The friends you consider the best - will bring you their silver found in their change.


31. You love it when people think all halves made after 1964 are clad.


32. The prettiest lady is named "Walker."


33. When you hear the word "Barber," a haircut is not the first thing that comes to mind.


34. You now hate the word "Bicentennial."


35. When the teller brings your halves, you have to literally force yourself not to smile when you see silver on the end of the rolls.


36. Clad is another four-letter word which resembles another.


37. You just know that one old lady teller is hoarding all the silver.


38. Some other old, sweet teller has asked "Myyyy, how LONG have you been saving ALL of these half dollars for?"...and you don't have the guts to say... "about 25 minutes."


39. You also have an impressive zippered bank bag collection.


40. You may not remember the date, but you know the spot price of silver.


41. You've thought of looking for silver in church offering plates.


42. You've thought of CRHing in retirement towns.


43. Nobody on the planet is nicer than a teller who has saved silver coins for you.


44. A skunk is a horrible thing, it could also mean a small, smelly animal.


45. You know what NIFC stands for.


46. You've needed to use a dolly for this hobby.


47. You've lied to tellers so they won't want to look for silver themselves.


48. Your hands have looked like you disassembled an engine.


49. The worst thing you hear is; "We just sold some really old rolls 10 minutes ago..."


50. You keep a large sum of cash strictly for CRHing.


51. Bags or boxes of halves are the heaviest things you lift now.


52. You have actually paid for items only in half dollars.


53. While paying for said items, cashier looks at you like you have 3 heads.


54. Same cashier either asks manager if they can accept them and/or says they have never seen them before.


55. Someone thinks they are rare or are silver dollars and has offered you a buck apiece for them.


56. You can't believe your luck and wish you had more than just half a roll on you.


57. You hate it when clad coins have that 'silver' look to them.


58. You have bounced said coins just to 'make sure.'


59. You secretly hope that silver will hit $500 per ounce.


60. You have actually figured what your silver would be worth at $500 per ounce.
