Silly Grandma, Banks are for Kids...

[timmune]

So I've been visiting friends & family in California for the last two weeks. I'm sitting with my grandma doing a jigsaw puzzle when I ask her about the large basket filled with coin rolls that's in the sitting room.

"Oh I've been wrapping my coins and putting them there for a while now and keep meaning to take them to the bank but it's gotten so heavy over the years that now I keep putting it off."

"How long you since you've taken coins to the bank grandma?"

"Oh I don't know maybe 10 or 15 years."

"Grandma, I will be happy to take those to the bank for you."

Now my check in suitcase weighs about 35 lbs heavier and I can't wait to get home and see what grandma's been stashing in these rolls.

Nice! Good luck, let us know what you find

this might be where you find she is really a roll hunter herself and has found a really sneaky way to get others to dump her coins for her (-:

LMAO.. "WTF gramma you just drop a bunch of skunk rolls on me?!"

I'll be sure to post a log when I tackle them next week!

If it were my grandmother I'd gone though them with her, pointing out anything of value instead lying and swindling her. Be sure to let us know how much silver (if any) you screwed grandma out of.

Lol, seriously? I'm guessing your not being serious, but just in case...

My grandma is 90 yrs old, and my handing her cash for her coin rolls saves her a trip to the bank carrying 35 lbs in change--she weighs 97 pounds. Hardly what I call swindling.

I also told her exactly what I plan to do with them so I don't really consider that lying

I'll def post log in the next week with finds!

I don't see the problem here. She was going to take them to the bank anyway and if the OP told her what he was going to do with the coins and she let the OP take them, then have a great time searching the coins!

I mean what would 99.9% of the population do. I'd guess one of two things. 1) i they were able to, they'd take the coins to the bank for grandma to get her cash or make a deposit or 2) they would say "I'm only here for a short time to visit, someone can worry about the change later. Let's spend the time together instead of wasting it at the bank".

This seems like a win all around. She gets the money without him being off doing errands. I he finds a silver dime or two, I don't think she will care (he told her it was his plan). If he hits the mother load (grandmother load?), he can do whatever he feels appropriate at that time. He went to visit her, by plane, so obviously he cares enough to spend money to visit. I don't think we should assume there is any malicious intent.

I'm guessing Grandma was glad to give you a gift like that. Good for her and hope you find something nice in there. It doesn't always work out that way in life.

Business is business - if it were my grandma I would have said "I know there is $100 in change here but I'll give you $75 cash money right now - or prehaps you would like to lug all this heavy and dirty change to the bank and waste your gas and time."

And if you were my grandson I would spank your behind, do your grammie like that

LMAO. We'll said we'll said!

I will say this... I've already peaked at 5 penny rolls and found 8 wheats and I'd guess about 60% of the rolls are at least pre-1982.

Can't wait to dig into the other rolls for silver!

I'll be waiting on the rest!
