I love how the US never changed their currency so collectors can do this. In most European countries this would be impossible. I think it's a great idea. 
I collect and deal in ancient Roman coin. In case you're looking for affordable ancient coins or need any help with the coins you already have send me a message.

This needs to be a thing worldwide! Imagine the look on any beggar's face when he asks for a dollar!

Due to the value of the Euro (it's very atractive to pay 2 euro with 10 baht coin or Turkish lira). I do often find all kind of 1 and 2 euro look a like coins in my pocket money. UK pennies does go as 5 euro cent too.
In other words, don't forget to check your pocket money. :)
Cents are money too!

Quote: "harryg"Update : Sadly to date I have found nothing of real value or any W mint quarters despite going to my bank and going through countless rolls. I will keep trying though.Same
I went through 6 or 7 boxes this month and nothing interesting other than an impaired proof and a rim cud. Got another box today, so fingers crossed.

Go Google the exchange rate. Really lol.... Ha ha ha....
Be kind to people. Sharing is Caring. Collect what you like and not by the Crowd.
To seek for perfection, it is too painful and there is a very high price to pay. To seek for something comfortable is more easy. To seek for nothing is even more easy.

Quote: "Hello There"I’m on a roll!wow I wish I could have that good of a box. The last really good find I had was about 2 years ago when I searched 3 boxes of halves and came up with 50 silvers. All 90%. With 2 walkers and several bens

Anyways I’m goin to try my luck again with another box in the next few days. You said you found yours in the non branded generic one right? And if you don’t mind saying which bank did you get them at since we are both in Palatine?

Quote: "KLiao"A bit late but NO “W”I read somewhere online that you can ask the bank if they can order you the newest coins in the box from the mint. I will ask them when I go next time. You should too, worth a try.
