This was all in one bag of halves !(image included)

[coolpix9]

One of my old dump banks called me and said they had a full bag of halves.(yes,I do give my banks my phone number) I am expecting a big payday.. I ended up with 5-90%ers and 2-40%ers . I don't live anywhere near Canada but the bag had quite a few. I didn't bother counting the bag to see if I was shorted,I assume I was. Good Hunting out there !!!!! Jim

That is quite a mix of items you got there & some of the strangest half's I have ever seen.

Why did you leave the bicentenial cent in there?

 

[coolpix9]

I guess you might call it a fox paw.

was wondering if you knew anything about those presidential tokens at the top of the pic? i found one once and couldnt find anything on it

 

[coolpix9]

Apparently they were offered by Shell some years back. I think there were 8 presidents on a cardboard holder. Why I got only 7 in a bag is unknown to me. Jim

I like the silver Mexican 25 Peso coin from 1968 best....

More silver than a 1964 Kennedy Half...

I am also quite fond of the 1 Rupee coin from India from somewhere between 1903 and 1910...

Another foreign silver coin with about as much silver as a 90% half...

Soooooo going by this post you should be able to dump a sack of guitar picks into a coinstar machine and get cash for them? Not that I would advocate such an act.

I once asked my credit union what they did with all the rejects and she said they just toos them in the bags......

Those presidential tokens were made by Shell in the 60's, I think, Im not too sure about the dates, but I have a bag full of them that my dad gave me. Also, It may not be easy to do, but try cashing all that canadian stuff for US dollars. If I remember correctly, the canadian dollar is still worth a little but more than the US dollar.

Just a thought,

Alex.

They are close to even, but the US dollar is still worth slightly more.

$1 US = $1.06 Canadian

I have gotten a pick too in a bag of halves. Welcome to the club.

I am in SoCA and spend canadian just like U.S. I usually always have a few canadian, when I pay i just mix in one canadian coins with U.S., never a problem. I do the magnet test first on dimes and quarters. If it sticks I spend. If not it is silver.
