to Add to that. Over the years, All of my Winter coats eventually got holes in the Pockets.
Coins would slip in these holes, & work their way down to the Bottom Seam.
where they would collect & Rutch to the Back.

when I Needed Change, I Could always scare up a Buck or more in Change,
& occasionally a Folded Bill or 2
By mining them Pocket Holes

Always check the Lining on these old Winter Coats for the feel of Coins.
Even if the Pockets have no Holes.
the dry Cleaners may have Put new pockets in.

Same goes for piles of clothes dumped out in the desert or in alleys. In these piles you're not just looking for coins & bills, you're looking for buttons too! Yes people collect buttons and some pay good $$$ for them. If you live in an area that Is frequented by coyotes & illegals you've got a good chance. If you spot a bunch of backpacks hidden in the brush check em out!! Common to find a bunch of packs with a milk jug of water, a jacket & a granola bar. The illegals get dropped here & walk the rest of the way.
