I've noticed lately that since the economic crunch here in the states that I'm seeing more and more silver coins in my change when I buy something... (Mostly convenience stores)..... I've gotten several silver dimes the last two weeks, I believe it's due to their small date and can't be read as easily as a quarter. But I've also gotten a couple silver quarters as well so watch for this....... I think the reason is with the economy being such as it is, people are breaking into coin collections to buy needed items in a pinch. Anybody else noticed this lately?

I've often heard of stolen change....for instance a coworker's son took a huge bag of silver dimes and made it dissapear. Even at face value he probably got $300.
It's a shame, but it happens.

hey jay its funny you mention this my wife actually got to silver quarters a 1956 and a 1940 and this was change back from mcdonalds!
A friend of mine was passing a coin-star machine in the market. He just happened to look down at the reject box and there was several Silver coins in it. He assumes that the person just got tired of trying to feed them in and left them there. Not knowing what they were. I think most young-ens just don't know what silver coins are
I have also heard of people who go to the bank, buy several rolls of coin and sort threw them!

I am getting some old 70's pennies in change with some new shinny finish on them. I cannot figure that out, because all that bright coppery finish wears off to a dull dark copper fast and does not last 30 to 40 years?
Exactly just like Jay Evans said, I thought that someone is spending a coin collection on the market.
