That's true...I picked up two wheaties in change while in Maui, Hawaii last week. I guess the saying that you're isolated on an island is true -- so are the coins!

I stopped in a store for directions a few years ago in a bad section of the city, when in walked a guy off the street wanting to buy cigarettes. As I am standing there, he hands the girl at the counter a handfull of silver. I can here the clinking of the coins, so I asked the clerk if I could give her bills for the money he handed her.
He had 3 Standing liberty Quarters, a franklin half and a bunch of Mercs. I said if he had more I would give him nice new bills for it, and he handed me 3 or 4 1964 Kennedy halfs in uncirculated condition and a bunch of silver Washington quarters, which I exchanged for the new bills.
No doubt someone in the area was missing a coin collection.

We had a Young girl come in to play the arcade games that take quarters so she cashed in the dimes and halves for quarters before we knew she had put the quarters in the games. We bought all she had and put it aside and called her parents to let them know and sold it all back for what we gave for it. Every once in a while we will see a silver dime or quarter come though and once my wife got a Franklin half as a tip.
When the state quarters were just coming out, this guy that I used to work with and I would hit up the vending machine guy to see if we could find any quarters we didn't already have. When he dumped the quarters out on the table, a nice Merc dime was laying on top of the pile. The other guy almost broke my hand trying to slap his hand down on top of it, but I was just a bit quicker on the draw...
