Earlier this week, I found myself in a new area, so I checked out a few banks. No luck in the first three, including one where the teller and I swapped stories of our finds. Last bank, the teller said she had 5.00 in halves, and started to give me grief about not having an account. I used my usual line, of "do you really want to keep counting these every night?" That and my smile plus the line of people behind me must have worked:

Someone spent grandpa's stash!

Are you pulling my leg?! All older coins; 100%. Not a Kennedy to be seen. I would have bought all of their quarters and dimes too. They obviously only deal in old coins and aren’t swift enough to recognize them as such. I’d be wondering if I was caught in a time warp if that happened to me. Congrats🤔

NICE HAUL !!!
I once went to a bank and wanted to purchase $760 worth of halves. They told me i could not buy them because i did not have an account with them. So i took out another $200 and opened an account and then bought the halves. I think i found $360 worth of halves in them. It seems someone died and someone brought in there coin rolls and turned them in. This happens some times . About a week later i went back and cancelled the savings account :)

Nice score - I found an entire roll of Walkers in a teller's tray once...
