Your avatar is a cash drawer right? i'm having trouble seeing it but, Its setup wrong it should be from left to right $1,$2,$5,$10,$20. $50 and $100 notes go under the drawer.

No, it's just a comparison of the latest federal reserve notes to monopoly money. The denominations are the same color.

Nice find...a piece of history! I pulled an 1856 SL about two months ago...only to find out a bit later that it was fake. Made out of lead, but boy was it a good quality fake! Gotta love the Chinese...

You can fit smaller things into bigger holes, but it's hard to jam large things into smaller holes. (That's what she said)

The 1836-1839 Capped Bust halves are .6 mm smaller than today's halves. The other ones are bigger by 1.9 mm.

Yea, just asking cause the S mintmark is worth at least 350

About 3500 boxes i did find 3 barbers!

LOL! It takes searching through $1,750,000 to find 3 barbers and 1 seated? I'd say my chances are slim to none. Never know though...

Either way, nice find!

Just think of the history of that coin, it could have been carried by a soldier at Gettysburg, could have been payment for a Colt peacemaker in the wild west, or it could have been the last money a family had during the depression.
