So, I checked the coinstar, got me a clad dime, sweet....
5 minutes later, I see an old timer staring at the coinstar, has a bag in his hand, confused look on his face....
I make it a point to see what's up, he says he's got $34 in halves, and some $2 bills....
He says, "I counted them, $44 total.....my poker winnings"
Wanted to get some spendable cash.....
I'LL BUY THEM OFF YOU RIGHT NOW SIR....I GOT $45 ON ME, LETS DO THIS.
The little plastic baggie showed old $2's.....I was quivering with anticipation.....
I get to my truck, pull out the folded wad.....BANG!!!
4 Red Note $2's from the 50's, and two blue note ones, oldest 1935!
So I still haven't check the halves, I clear off the metal tray in my truck, close my eyes, and dumped them all....listening for the sweet tones is silver.....
EVERYONE OF THEM CLAD....
worse, everyone was a bicentennial.........
Even worse.....only $33.50 in halves...old fart got me for 50 cents....
So I'm happy with the old bills....better than anything I've pulled from the turf lately.
