And they deposited them at the bank? How do you take a silver round as money? Something fishy about this whole story...I could see a clerk accepting them if he/she planned to buy them out of the drawer but how did they even know how to count it for the deposit slip? It doesn't say "one dollar" on it.

I took a guy to the liquor store when I was 19 (yes underage...sorry). He was in the passenger seat and wanted three 40oz beers. When he gave me the money to pay it was all in silver dollars. I put them in my pocket and payed with my paper money. I still have them to this day. That was 24 years ago. I believe the dates are 1898, 1904 (?), and 1921. I can only assume he stole them, but who knows...

im not talking about the coins, that was used to buy shoes
i was quoting glassyeyed statement, because he/she is from NE ohio, and was wondering
if that is where he got the coins, he is talking about, thats where i lived when the theft happened
sorry for any confusion
