I figured I would go ahead and start this topic, because I like to hear what people find. I received a keelboat today in change.

I received my first Finnish 2005 issue in change the other day. A €0.50 piece.

1964 Canadian penny with doubled rim denticles.

Two Texas-D state quarters, from two different shops about 20 miles apart today.
Local bank must have just gotten in some new rolls of quarters from the FED and supplied both business. Both coins were new and lusterous.

A 1936 Buffalo Nickel, a 1945 War Nickel and the new Jefferson/Buffalo Nickel. (I've got friends looking out for me)

'43 P war nickel in VF+. I didn't actually find it in change, it was in a coffee can full of mine` balls from Lincoln's war at the local flea market. The seller said he didn't know it was in there and took the dime I offered for it.

A 1955, and a 1956 wheatie both in the same pocket full of change.

2002-S Indiana quarter proof. The only proof state quarter I own.

Nothing; absolutely nothing!

Yeah, I get a lot of days like that too.

Like many of us, I am an obsessive change checker. You ever notice the looks you get from cashiers? Hey, it's not that I think you short-changed me, I just want to see if you gave me any gifts.

It's been pretty dry, but last week this was handed to me. One of 24.7 million minted and 58 years old...now retired from duty...thank you.

I've probably received like 3 47's in the past month, but never an S, or anything in that good of condition. Great find!

Last night customers brought me a nearly-dead merc, and a few New Zealand coins.

Oddly enough a lady gave me $1 in rolled wheat pennies to pay for a drink. Needless to say I gave my boss $1 in quarters in exchange for the pennies Most are pretty nasty but there are a few rather nice coins.

Nothing new here. Not even a decent Statehood Quarter.

i had a $5 star note the other day but i had to spend it.. ah well

Ok, so I was in Starbucks with my mom, and I look in the tip thing, and I see an Oregon quarter, in very nice condition, almost as if it had just been taken out of the roll. So, we get our drinks and go sit down. I tell my mom about the coin, and she gives me a quarter to go get it. I just couldn't do it for some reason, it just felt so weird. So I didn't do it, and my mom offered to do it for me, so I let her. This is sad, but I didn't even know that the Oregons had come out yet.

Yesterday, my friend saved me an old $20 bill in his register. So awesome. I love old money.

Haven't seen anything neat lately.

Well I'll give you the List for today
A 1951 D cent with some Red visiable A nice Red: 73D, 78D, 79D, and 82D All Red

Well congrats on the anniversery, neat coin finds, and the big win. Nice day!

I recieved a 1981 $100 in my "paycheck" last thursday. Still debating keeping it

-Bobby

you get payed in cash??????????

Indeed I do. Took some pictures becasue it was the biggest "check" I have had in a while. $1000 worth of $100 looks pretty sweet layed out Ill post them up as soon as I can.

-Bobby

Bought a 1943/2 Jeffy,online, in XF- $1.10. Hold on now, I purchased it as a XF -1943 P, the guy didn't look close enough!

Lol, while at work, my friend had to break open a roll of dimes, and when he did, he said like 10 pennies came out of it. He exchanged some of his money for some and he brought some of them home to show me. Someone had filed down the penny so that it was the size of a dime. I just laughed.

Not a coin but I'm sure you will enjoy it.

At work I was counting the money and noticed an odd bill. Sure enough, $10 star note! I know it isn't worth much but it has been 6 years since I ran across a star note in circulation. Needless to say I replaced it with a normal $10 bill and it is now mine (boss didn't care).

How about getting a job which pays better than 19c for such a time-consuming task!

I've got 2 star notes in the past year, and I don't even live in the US!

Seven 2005-D Buffalo Nickels. See the trade forum for more details.

I got through my parents and sis's change nearly everyday! Some days I'll just get a few quarters, other its a few dollars worth. And I'd say, that on average, I get about 1 or 2 star notes a month.

Just in the past week, I've gotten:

Pennies:
1962-D
2 1963-D
1972-D
1974
1975
1976
1976-D

One of my carpenters gave me today one hungarian half poltura 1763 very nice, 2 austrian kreuzers 1909 and two 2000 lei coins of 1946. Yesterday I was bought one nice set of 5, 10 and 20 Bani 1905-1906

You must be lucky. The past two weeks I've sorted through nearly $20k in cash and not one star note other than the one I found.

Star notes! When I'm filling in for one of the tellers at the bank, I come across so many * notes I don't even look anymore, $1 thru $100.

Used to buy all the AU+ looking ones, but after seeing so many I just don't give it a second thought...

I looked through all of my cash and I found one star note. I'm just wondering, but why did they make star notes?

Nothing yesterday, nothing today and nothing tomorrow. There really is just nothing in change worth searching for. No 2005s yet either, not that i'm that bothered.

Star notes come from the mint When the original bill is messed up during production, or is used for testing they throw it out. Well, they cant have missing serial numbers, so they reprint the bill with the same serial number, but they take the letter off the end, and add a * there.

And all the talk about star notes reminds me of a sad story at the bank one day. I was with my mom and she was cashing my dad's pay check. And in the $100 bills, there were 2 star notes!!!! But I didn't get to keep them So I was sad lol.

82P and 83D quarters from Wally World (both in F/VF)

Well I just found a 1948D wheat cent...worth anout 0.01$

But I'll keep it just for grins.

THe coinstar machine has been good to me the last few weeks though-silver!

Ciao, and Hook 'em Horns,
Capt-AWACS, Veni, Vidi, Bibi, Carpe imperium

i hardly find any neat coins in circulation lol

Wheatie, 1955 D (I wish I could continue with the rest of the DO).

Filling in for a vacationing teller, I scooped up a 1957 Washington Quarter in the change drawer, grade it Fine

Dan

Ha! You banking guys could really rake it in if you had time to sort coins at work. ;-)

1960 small date lincoln,4- 1 dollar star notes, and a 2 dollar 1978 series star note, all from the waitress connection at the truck stop.

Rick

I finally got a new Buffalo nickel!

I got a 2005-D cent.

That's special for me because I'm from the East Coast and we never see denver coins out here. Oh, I got it in Texas, land of the D's

It wasn't a circulation find really, but it was found under my wife's desk - a 1957 dime.

A '39-D Jeff, in change from yesterday's shopping.

1945-p in change from convienence store.
