This haul will be remembered for a long time!
Went to a supermarket today hoping the bank branch would be opened, but no luck.
Conducted some business at the courtesy desk and got back .20 in change, both dimes were silver and I heard the clerk drop more in the till. After politely explaining that I wanted to buy all of her dimes, waiting for the manager to say ok, and politely letting all the other customers transact, I came away with 115 silver Roosevelt dimes! There was absolutely no way I was leaving that counter without every dime in her till.
