I don't get out as often as I used to, and when I do, I pay mainly via credit card.
But today, I mailed pictures to my Mom and it cost less than the single $1 bill I had in my wallet.
I didn't even look at my change until I unloaded my pockets after getting home, but when I did, I was pleasantly surprised to see it included what would appear to be a 1927 Buffalo Nickel.
Not earth-shattering, but it's been a while since I've found anything like that, old silver, or even wheat cents in change.
Of course, it would have been a LOT more exciting if they had managed to slip me an original "Inverted Jenny" stamp instead!

Dunno where though. It was in my pocket when I emptied it.
Condition census, too.
Black, dented, stained, gouged, all the GOOD attributes.

Well, you can pay $12 and get one of the 2.2 million sheets of 6 inverted jenny $2 stamps issued in 2013. They're still for sale on the USPS website. Almost as rare!
They also issued 100 sheets of "Verted Jenny" stamps (plane right side up), mixed in with the inverts. In 2014 one of those sheets sold at auction for over $50,000.
