Gas station near my house saved me some silver!

Silver certificate that is. I went to get some gas today at a gas station that I have recieved some silver coins from in the past, and asked the cashier if they had any old coins. He said "No coins today, but I have this." He pulled out a 1957a silver certificate one dollar bill and handed it to me to look at. It is pretty worn, and there is a few tiny holes in it (smaller than a needle) but no tares in the bill at all. I gave him $1.50 for it since he saved it for me. It's probably not worth much more than what I got it from him for, but I don't mind buying it from him since he saves other stuff for me too. I don't collect paper money that much other than what my dad handed down to me, but I think I might start.

I've got two gas stations, the local pool concession stand, and the local ice cream shop saving coins for me. Kids tend to spend a lot of silver halves from mom and dads coin collection to get ice cream. Havent got any silver dollars yet but lots of silver quarters, halves, gold dollars, and a few silver certificates. I get to buy them at $2 each at the gas stations (regardless of denomination except the gold dollars) and at the pool and ice cream shop I get them at face since they know my dad well.

I had a teller save me a 57B Silver Cert the other day. I was very pleased! It pays to be nice to the tellers!

I've never gotten a silver certificate before! The oldest bills I've got are a 1963A $1 and a 1963B $1 (within about a week of each other) when I was working my retail job. That's the only thing I miss about not being there is missing out on all of the good stuff in the register.

I trade at the same gas station all the time. Went in one morning and the cashier ask if I collect coins I said Yep. He pulled a box out and bam! 4 1964 Kennedy he said What they worth I said round $10 a coin needless to say I walked away with them way less than $10. Went back a couple days later and he had more. Guess it shows people still pay with them.
