Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Where are the coins?

I found a Wal-Mart that would take mt loose coins and give me full face value. $1395.

I took in over 2500 bucks worth still got a few gallons of pennies to roll.

We did the Sacajawea coins after that, starting in 2000

The $1 and $2 coins are alive and well here in Canada. Basically the penny has vanished. Now businesses (by law) round charges either up or down so the penny is no longer needed.
The large denomination coins are known as loonies or toonies.

That was such a flop that I forgot about it

I have about $1-K in coins. I was going to ask the people at the bank if they would like me to bring them in.
If I use a coin machine at a store, they take an amount for their service.
I'm sure the coins will find there way to the bank this week.

My bank has a change maker that weights loose coins and tells you the amount. I didn’t believe it, so the lady put the bulk coins in a coin counter and it was exact. With one exception..., The teller handed me a Canadian penny which I simple put back into the grandkids bank. They have close to $1K in a savings acct., from a piggy bank the holds roughly $250.00 when full. Amazing how much change adds up when you empty your pockets daily.

I was just in the local Cabelas tonight and they have a sign up, No coins. You can pay by check or card or the exact amount or round it up but you won't be getting any change back.

Whatever.

I got 4 big pickle jars And a few shoebox size plastic containers of coins. Seems like a lot of quarters. I guess I should figure out how to cash them in. I keep a coffee cup in the truck and when its full I bring it in and dump it in one of the larger containers. I would guess theres ten years worth of coins laying around here. No idea what the value might be. I never carry any coins in my pocket. The only time I use them is if Im in truck going through a drive-through. And rarely then.

Woo-wee!

Went through about a third of a five gallon pail of quarters sorting for junk silver, not a single pre ‘65 coin in the bunch. It was several thousand $ worth, all turned into the bank. No problem, no premium either.

And I wouldn't be buying anything and walking out the door.....

I have ignored all the "exact change only" signs since they started to appear.

Not a single place has had a change issue. They just put the signs up in an effort to virtue signal and create a faux doomsday atmosphere.

It's every bit as retarded as the other aspects of the CoFarce.

I don't know of a single store here now other than Walmart with a self service checkout that will take cash. They've all converted to card only. To pay cash or if you want cash back from a debit card, you have to wait in line.

Pennies, nickels and dimes should be abolished. I mean WTF what a friggen worthless hassle.

Then they can't price stuff at 19.95.

Exactly. 😀

You do not want cash OR coins to be abolished! Cash and coins are a form of payment freedom you do NOT want to give up.

You will REGRET going cashless!!

The Asians, especially the Chinese are hoarding coins. At least they are in OC CA.

LOL
