Bump. This is such a GREAT idea, but I can't believe that I am the first person to respond to the message. I like the zeemaps.com site showing specific dealers and what they will be doing. For instance, I see there is a Burger King in Minot, ND that might want to prepare for quite a bit of activity.

I have personally emailed and texted about 75 friends and family members. I am urging others on this site to do the same.

Same.
I've never been keen on collectible coins/currency being spent, whatever the reason. Just creates a greater chance of these rarities languishing in change jars, or worse, being literally tossed to the curb. I've known people who discard change like it's trash. The thought of an 1800's Indian cent rolling into a storm drain makes me cringe.

I think that it is truly great for the hobby and with all the coin roll hunters here everyone should be excited!

Just because there is nothing on the map doesn’t mean someone won’t take some collectible coins to a store somewhere and choose to be anonymous.

I have started with a few "rare coins" and "rare bills."
Spending generic piton halfs and two dollar bills has caused enough "wows" and

I have dropped a few buffalo nickels and Indian cents into the leave a penny trays.
The people who recognize them suck them up and they never truly enter circulation.

Silver Monometalism is the most permanent and stable form of money the world has seen. Natural law and history prove silver value is best multiplied by gold and best divided by copper. It is only in this counterfeit currency time when the natural law appears suspended.

A good way to get a coin into circulation would be to dump it in a coin machine. It would go wherever they go and get rolled and delivered to a business or bank. Someone would eventually get in in change I would guess.

Hey, that is a GREAT way to share the hobby. I have to admit that I look in those give a penny/take a penny trays a lot for copper pennies. I especially do it when service is slow and I have to wait a bit for my food.

I may have gotten something from the hunt! I was at a gas station with a mini-mart on Sunday afternoon. I told the cashier about the coin hunt while looking at his Give a penny/take a penny dish. He said "Wait- I've got something. I just got this." And he proceeded to give me (for face value) a ugly and bent 1929-D Walking Liberty half. But it is still silver!

Incidentally, my 1929-D half dollar find was NOT posted on the zeemaps.com site. I feel like there are a lot that will never appear on that site.

Don't know if this was part of the original coin hunt or not, but I got a dateless 1913-P Type 1 (raised mound) buffalo nickel in change at a mini-mart next to a gas station yesterday. I asked the cashier if he had anything "old or unusual" and he said "I've got this". He kept it separated from the rest of the coins. He had to ask a co-worker what it was. The co-worker knew it was a nickel.

That's cool. I wonder what's better coins released for the hunt or the ones in the wild, even though I am sure they were released from someone's coin collection or jar when they died. Or stolen and taken to the Constar. Or just by chance been floating out there in change. When I find a old coin I look back and see what was going on in this world during the time it was made.
