I was shoping at IKEA today with my wife and stopped at a vending machine to get a bottle of water. I only had a five dollar bill so I got 4 Sacs for change. They were all 2000 D and looked very BU++++ . I looked over the coins and saw they were really in great condition. Few if any nicks on them , most with no eye visible marks.
I then proceded to put another 5 dollar bill in the machine and hit the cancel button. Same results 5 beautiful coins , all 2000 D . I then went over to the register and got 4 more $5s . I now have a nice roll of BU 2000 D SACs. I showed them to my wife and she just shook her head and called me nut. Sigh.......

Jamakin: 'me crazy'.
New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.
for the record (and I learned this the hard way)....the machines only give out $20 worth of change.
the postmaster thought I was nuts but I couldn't prove how much I'd put in.

You had me worried for a minute there jamikin, I thought you went and got a MS64 MONSTER RAINBOW TONED Mogan at 20X it's Greysheet ask price. Getting Sacs at face from a machine is nothing. You can always spend them and silently laugh as the clerks act like THEY'RE nuts.
(thanks Pat Braddick)
your wife will go nuts then. (Pay particular attention to the TAIL FEATHERS on that date and mintmark)
