You know you are a CRH addict when -

[Emperor Findus Cladius]

you have business in a neighboring town and the ONLY thought on your mind is "what time do I need to leave to see if the banks there have any halves?".

WHEN ITS PRESIDENTS DAY AND YOUR MAD THE BANKS ARE CLOSED.

WHEN YOU SLAM ON YOUR BRAKES AND ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE $1000 IN HALVES COMING THROUGH THE BACK SEAT FROM THE TRUNK.

WHEN YOUR PLAYING A VIDEO PS2 GAME W/YOUR 5 YEAR OLD(FLUSHED AWAY) AND THERE IS A COIN IN THE GAME AND YOU CAN SEE THE DATE 1882 AND THE WORD ELIZABETH ON IT AND ARE WONDERING HOW MUCH THAT CARTOON GRAPHIC COIN WOULD BE WORTH.

That's funny about Presidents Day because here in south Louisiana it was a normal business day for the banks....all open. They are all closed today because of it being Mardi Gras day here.

...your family's bill at a fine restaurant is $100 and all you can think about is how many silver halves you'd have found if you'd spent that on coin rolls instead.

...the server at a fine restaurant is pissed at you because the bill for your family was 80 bucks and you tipped her with 32 half dollars.

...you've looked through so many rolls after supper that you see Kennedy Halves when you close your eyes.

...you notice that the guy in front of you at the bank is getting rolls of halves and you hurriedly complete your transaction up so that you can follow him to his house, slip nasty notes under his door, and plot his demise.

...you have to enlist friends, relatives, kids, and spouse to help carry your new rolls in from the car.

...you spend months trying to train the family dog to "sniff out" silver coins.

...you've forgotten what baseball, basketball, running, walking, or any other form of exercise is.

...you can't see your desk anymore for all the clad.

...a hot girl asks you out on a date and you say "Sorry, I'm coin roll hunting tonight. Wanna join?"

...you're furious because you can't find any nickels, dimes, or quarters in your car, and the parking meters don't take halves. AAAARRRGGGHHH!

...you've decided to trade in your BMW for a Tracer that needs a paint job because you're so scared that someone will jack your car and steal all your halves!

...you missed your kid's birthday because you just had to get through that last $1000 worth of rolls.

...you called Miss Cleo on the Psychic Hotline to ask her which banks might be best for silver coins.

LMAO!!!

THese are great!

Re: You know you are a (senior momented) CRH addict when -

.......you dump your canvas bag of reject coins into the coin counter...and out tumbles an unopened roll of halves you had (apparently) overlooked.

(memo to self) don't do that again.

 

[Emperor Findus Cladius]

when you slam on your brakes (almost causing a wreck) so you can make the turn into the parking lot of a bank you just noticed and you realized you have never been to!!!!

 

[Ben_banned]

When you think about searching lifesaver rolls for errors.

 

[silvershark]

You find half dollars in random places in your car because you couldn't hold back the anticipation of looking through them until you got home and you dropped a couple while opening the wrappers.

Modify

When you clean out your car and find about 200 of the little cardboard circles from tops of FED boxes.

 

[RaptorSE]

LOL Thermownator !!

I cant believe you dumped your coins into the counter, and a full roll flew out
hahahahahaha... that got me really laughing

Keep em comin'

 

[silverfinder37]

When you go to the bank to dump your last boxes plus of halves and the new teller says"Oh your the one".

 

[fiatboy]

...you wake up with sore arms and wonder why, and then you remember, "oh yeah! I went to the bank yesterday."

 

[Silverstealer]

Yea I might be an addict but I will take that. In fact I think it has been good for me. Never before could I have said I have 1 - 2 thousand dollars laying around the house. The time spent CRH'ing has kept me out of bars, from eating out, shopping for other things....and has helped me save money. I think the only additional bill is the gas for the truck. It only gets 13miles to the gallon.....

To add to the list though...

.....When you know all of the vault tellers in town by name
.....When the vault teller sees you at a bar and sits to have a drink with you
.....When you are no longer able to have a bank account in your town
.....When all the tellers suddenly take a break when you walk through the bank doors
.....When the tellers offer you a hand truck to move your loot.

 

[rayzhell]

when you go to make a purchase and hope it comes out with $??.01 and refuse to take the .01 out of the cent holder

Yea I might be an addict but I will take that.

.....When you know all of the vault tellers in town by name

Not only does my main bank know me by name, but when the vault teller sees me in line on Friday afternoon (from her desk behind all the tellers) she will get my attention and hold up one or two fingers (that doesn't sound very nice does it? ) She wants to know how many boxes she can get for me and have at my favorite tellers window before I get there. I always give her the peace sign for two boxes.

Yes, that is true.
But did you know in some parts of the world that finger is used to point things out on pages, maps, charts, etc. Several times I have had to remind my wife not to do it that way.
I can still remember when we had only been married a few years and we were watching a movie that had a lot of profanity in it and she turned to me and said "what is F_ _ _ YOU"
(forgot to say she was not born over here and English is not her native tounge and YES she does have a green card that we got the legal way )

You know you're an addict when Alex says "It's the weight of 1000 half dollars" and you're the only one on Jeopardy that can answer with the proper question.

 

[fiatboy]

...your girlfriend asks you, "Why do you always get that face when we drive by a Brinks truck?" hahahaha.



...you not only know where every bank in town is, but every parking lot, too.



...no matter where you are or what you're doing, you always hear it when something metal is dropped on the ground.

 

[coincollector101]

...You write messages on the bottom of your boxes you return "Quick I need more Silver"...

 

[kieser sousa/rip]

You know your buddy is a CRH addict when.. you drive an hour to get to a prime detecting area and have to stop at every bank inbetween and the "hour" drive just took up all your detecting time. :P
