Do you look?

In cash tills when you're waiting to pay for something? And if so, do you ever see anything good?

I always do, and today I saw a merc in the "misc" bin in the cash register at the post office. I asked the teller if he'd sell it to me, but he closed the door right when I asked and he didn't hear me (or acted like he didn't). A long wait behind me, too, so I didn't want to hold it up. With my luck it was a 16-d image

Any stories of getting that Barber half or seated dime for face value or near it?

    I look. I've picked up some silver halves and a few dimes that way.

    I look all the time.

    Cashiers that I know expect it while those that I don't know kinda look at me a little strange.......................Thats usually the time when I feel the dumbest.
    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.



    The name is LEE!
