It's your resident Coinstar hunter! I've been quiet but still gathering coins. Lately, I've not been able to look. However the coins...or in this case, bills, seem to be finding me!
Not bad at all!

but it's still a wonderful find! As far as the home burglazation idea, well kids are always throwing them back into circulation because they're not worth much. There's an estimated $240 million USD worth of United States Notes still in circulation for example, and you can definitely find those notes still in circulation if you work retail/servince industry. Silver certs are so common that only the ones of finest quality cost more than face value anyways, I think there are about the same amount of silver certs still in circulation too. My buddy Mike found a 1963 $5 US Note while working at McDonalds. At one local restaurant they've found several US Notes too. My buddy in Iowa pulled a brown seal note out of the cash register at his job. My girlfriend found a 1910 Barber Dime at KFC. The guys at the gas station always set aside old and bizarre things for me to look at as well. The guys working at the local fast food have found several really nice older notes too. I've personally found silver quarters while working behind the front desk of a hotel, and I've recieved 7 silver quarters at once in my change! Ignorant kids and people are often the reason these things get thrown back into circulation, they rarely get returned to the mint because people pull them out all the time. Burglaries usually don't add these back into circ, they usually end up at the pawn shop.
