Sorry again my wife's camera won't do close-ups. I have to get my camera fixed this is driving me crazy.
On the way home from dinner I stopped at the gas station to grab a couple beers for the night. I always look in the till when it's opened and I said, "Can I get the halves?". Then the guy said, "There's $5 of them". I said I would take all and below is a pic of what was in there. I was shocked he didn't say he was saving them or something else. Fifty cents each, my luckiest strike in quite a while.

Feels good I bet. Very nice Sir...
It's all about what the people want...

You know, I should have done that. I'll get one this week just for the fun of it.
It's surprising how many people have no knowledge about coins or silver especially. It seems they would notice franklins as being odd at least. Some kid took pop's coin collection for a pack of cigarettes or something. (all different dates, no duplicates) I did the math and that's about $3.50 per cig. Ouch.

haha, something I would have done when I was a kid.
I think where I live cigarettes already cost $3.50 each

Must be something about gas stations. I was in one about 15 years ago in Seattle, and the guy just ahead of me (scruffy dude, maybe 40 years old) was buying a pack of cigs. He pulls out some cash and tosses it on the counter. The guy working the counter counts it and says something to the effect of 'Looks like you are 55 cents short". The guy reaches in his pocket, pulls out a handful of coins, and proceeds to count out eleven BUFFALO nickels. He puts them on the counter, and walks out.
I'm was in total shock, as was the guy behind the counter. I immediately said 'I'll buy those', but before I could even get the words out, the guy said 'nope' and dropped them in his pocket.
To this day, I still can't figure out what that was all about.

Lol, funny you mention that. I gave him a twenty and that was part of the change. On the way out I thought, why didn't I even glance at the quarter slot? I still wonder. Happy with what I got though.
I guess I was just so pleased to get the Franklins and not showing too much interest that I didn't think to glance at the rest of the change.
Somehow it made the beer taste better than usual.
