2 questions here 1- As to how many of any share my field of work 2- Have any of you ran across any interesting coins along the way? Thxs My one and only story is a novelty toy/candy machine at a truck stop in southern Indiana outfitted with coins from Wheat backs to SlQ’s and at a charge of 1.50-2.50 a pop. I don’t have pictures any more. I did grab a couple Couldn’t resist

Cool.
I was going from Cal. to the east coast and stopped in a filling station .
It was in Mississippi inside the restraint. Nice people, but at the time had to make time.
All the coins were placed inside those egg shaped holders.
US 1 Cents....only
Very good idea @ 25 cents per turn.
I might add 3 smokeys were leaving as I was pulling in.
Of course they head me sounding the alarm, I'll never forget that look he gave me.
lol

Wasn't in trucking persay but did audit trucking company invoices for a major oil producer and refiner in the 1990's. Interesting job, learned a lot.

Worked for a broker for a little over five years. As it was an office job, no interesting coins found out in the field. I did travel to shippers at the time to drum up business, but collecting had taken a back seat during those years.

No, but I have found some nice Lincolns at local truck stops. They generally all have a coin dispensing machine behind the counter. And typically will have coins from all over the states.

I am a diesel mechanic and fleet manager for a 19 truck fleet. We haul products that deal with agriculture and only work for farmers. We run 20 hours a day 7 days a week. I never know what each day will bring and what stress each phone call may have. We stay in state so I don’t have any cool finds for your second question.
