Funny story from a bank teller today...

I stopped by a small no-name bank which is in a very hidden location in a strip mall- one you could easily drive past and not know it is there.

Inside the bank I got $9 in halves (no silver this time), but I said to the teller "I bet you're glad to get rid of these." He said "I've had them a long time." I asked how long and he said he's had them since the day he started, which was almost a year ago! It just goes to show how there are items out there and that we just have to look carefully for them.

Kids out there today do not care about real coins... only imaginary ones.

After reading this post, Steve, you need to test this bank in terms of pennies. There could be rolls of copper/wheats etc. I would love to buy from this bank, but I am obviously way too far away.

Interesting thought! I’ll ask next time I go.
