My brother who also works at a gas station got TWO dollars in the form of DOLLAR coins for payment for some crap at a gas station. He got a 1879 morgan dollar with a "CC" mint mark as well as a peace dollar...His co worker didnt know or care what they were either!!! This country is so screwed hahaha

Someone actually just casually gave him them as payment. Isn't that insane? I know TTIWWOP.

It seems these fools only come in on weekends!! I work full time on week days and never get the crazy fools like this :(

Almost definitely stolen.

apparently he said the person was some degenerate druggie girl from around town. I would imagine she stole them from her family somehow. It is a tragedy for the person who it was stolen from but I can't feel bad since I have no way of knowing who owned it. I just can't believe how lucky my bro got. I have found a few quarters, nickels, and dimes here and there that were silver. I must say though, in 2011 I haven't found ONE SINGLE silver dime or quarter or half or anything from anyone. Last year I got about 11 quarters and 6 dimes at least over 6 months or so.

Those coins are easily worth $300.00 and possibly a lot more depending what condition they are in. Your saying someone handed them over to pay for $2.00 worth of stuff at a convenience store.

So...what's $300 divided by a bag of 28 peanut M&Ms and Chinese cigarette lighter?

That's really scary since she'll probably be the one assigned to take care of me when I'm in a nursing home. Empty my bed pan! Empty my bed pan!
