Ahh ... what is anything really "worth"? I bought a bottle of pop at a convenience store for $1.89 when I could have bought the same thing at work for $1.25. I'm suing the quickie mart.

But did they have to lie to you or deceive you or tell you it was some sort of special formula soda pop when you walked into the store in order to get you to buy it?

No, but they never told me what it was really "worth."
Telemarketer : Ma'am, we've got this bridge, and it will cross anywhere. Lady: Really ? Caller: Oh yes and wouldn't that be great in case you ever needed a bridge to cross somewhere ? Lady: Oh yes . I think I could use that. Caller: One bridge, coming up ! Lady: This bridge goes nowhere , I'm filing a lawsuit.
Judge: Ma'am, you have a bridge to cross anywhere. Case dismissed.
Any bottom feeder (lawyer) is willing to file a lawsuit (cost is usually a hundred dollars +/-) and a few hours of creative writing in the hopes that the company will pay her off with 25K or 50K and he gets 1/3. It's good money (for the lawyer)! I bet you would love to earn 8K for half an hour of writing and $100 in cash.
Remember, all we have to this point is some hyperbole, a complaint (which we haven't read), and a newspaper article (bets: the lawyer tipped off the paper to get some press to put pressure on the company). No facts, no reply from the defendant, nothing but a one-sided view.
Now, if it becomes a real lawsuit, which would cost the lawyer money to follow through - anyone want to bet s/he discovers a conflict and files to withdraw from representation???

State law. Texas is 1-party, meaning only one party needs to consent. Several states are 2-party (all party) meaning all parties need to consent to being recorded.
You can {Google,Bing} for your state's law, and there are several lists published of which state is which type.

But where is the deception if you're underwater on your mortgage? Clearly not the same as this situation. She was led to believe that she would get more than a couple rolls of essentially new cents.
2 different cases. I feel I am being mislead by a poster on this thread and am suffering because of that posters actions. Oh what can I do about this injustice? Does anyone want to help me by taking on a possible case for me?
I have come across this so many times in buying estates that I am glad to hear someone is fighting back. While I do not have the facts in this case, giving this company the benefit of the doubt is naïve. I hope that the company has every ounce of the weight of the law to have to crawl out from under.

A bit off topic but when I canceled the att long distance on my land phone recently, my phone bill dropped $55. Previously $69, only $13.50 1st month, now $23.50 for this last month. For the longest time, they had me sold with this talk that I was only paying $5 for long distance plus .07 per minute. Talk about getting &#%@ every month for the last..........heck I don't know how long,

I don't believe that this is true at all since eBay is an auction site and there is no direct contact with buyers "convincing" them that they should buy.
I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.
<< <i> A bit off topic but when I canceled the att long distance on my land phone recently, my phone bill dropped $55. >>
I knew someone that probably had the same long dist plan, it had a big base fee plus 7 cents per minute. I told them they wasted thousands since they had that plan forever since they can get lower fee per minute with almost no base fee. The thing in common with "paying too much for coins" is that regardless of that they charged a lot, we as a buyer should shop around and see if we're paying too much.

Because she allowed it to happen through her own stupidity. If she won her case, where would it stop ?

It might stop when every state gets a MN collector protection law

It was certainly interesting to see all the responses above.
Sometimes I wonder how we ever made it this far.

This seems to be a different situation than the OP.
In the OP, Ruth L. Thomas is suing American Eagle Reserve LLC.
In this article, Vickie McInnis is deceived by World Reserve Monetary Exchange in Canton, Ohio.
I have to think that the loss has to be greater than $60 to justify the costs of a lawsuit.
Could not help it, I will go to my corner now.

But ... how many times do I think I have paid less for coins than they were worth ...
