today i was dumping some halves, and as i was cashing the receipt from the counter, i noticed some tellers huddled around starring at a silver certificate $1.00 bill...so, i casually walk up and asked the teller holding it if she was gonna keep it or recirculate it, and she was very excited to tell me that i could buy it if i wanted, because she was gonna recirc it, but they just all wanted to look at it because it was "different". this teller is also a coin collector/silver hoarder, so i was surprised she was willing to give it to me! awesome, a 1957A silver certificate@! my 1st ever silver cert from circ! ok, now the real kicker begins. i go to a bank that saves me all small head bills, or "funny money" that comes through, that i havent been to in a while. i approach the teller and ask if she has any of "the old style bills", she produces a huge stack of them, which i buy, then at the end of the transaction shes like "oh, do you want any of these? i doubt most of them re worth anything because theyre not crisp, but you can pick through and pick out the ones you'd like" and she lays a stack of 19 $1.00 bill silver certificates on the counter! of course i buy them all!!! so up until today i had 0 silver certs from circ, and today i got 20!!! i was floored!

Awesome finds, persistance pays off once again. That's how almost always come in. You'll get a person that deposits or spends a bunch at one time then they make their way to you.
