What to do with Ike Dollars?

[JD-GA]

It seems many of the tellers im friendly with while doing road trips are extra appreciative if i buy their ike dollars along with the halves im after. I understand they dont like to have to count them every night so of course i help them out and take them as well and this keeps a mutual friendship going. So the question is, what the heck do you guys do with them? Obviously if i got one that had silver in it i would keep it but im starting to get way to many of these things to hold on to. Any suggestions?

There are some collectable varieties of Ikes. Check this site and see if any of the ones you have might be those varieties.

Very cool site AG thanks. I had no idea there were different types of ikes and that site explained it well. At least now i have something else to look at when i have no halves.

Some Ikes are 40%ers

Keep them in your pockets, if you ever get attacked or mugged they would make an ideal mid range weapon to throw at someone. Kaching!!!
