Convenienvce store finds

[bugo]

I have worked at a convenience store for about 6 months, and I've made some interesting finds. Here is a partial list.

Numerous wheat pennies, pre-1960 nickels, Ike dollars, SBD coins, and bicentennial quarters
(2) 1943 steel pennies
1912 V nickel
(2) 1943 silver war nickels
(30+) silver Roosevelt dimes
Barber dime
1964 silver quarter
(3) Franklin halves from 1952-53
numerous 40% silver JFK halves
(2) Series 1957-A $1 silver certificates
numerous $2 bills
numerous pre-1996 $5, 10, 20, 50, and 100 bills
1917 French 50 centimes silver coin
1861 British half penny
Other foreign coins including a 1967 Canadian penny with a bird on it

I find it amazing that all of this money is still in circulation. I work at a backwater store in a backwater town. I can only imagine what it's like at a big store on the highway.

EDIT: I spelled "convenience" incorrectly. Could somebody fix the thread title?

I use to be a manager in a retail store and when I had to count the safe down I use to get distracted by the rolls of coins. You could see the silver quarters in the rolls. I use to break them down and trade them out. I had to use small lunch bags when I did the tills for the quarters. It was always funny when the cashier would get their till and I could hear them mumble dang I can tell who set this one up for me.
