That's a great story! I appreciate you telling it! Makes me wonder how many people have old change jars from the 50's and 60's full of silver coins. I remember in 2008 with the economic scare, a lot of old change went into circulation. I would find a surprising amount of nickels and dimes and pennies from the 40's and 50's and early 60's in my change. People are a lot quicker to pull these from circulation these days.

My aunt told me a similar story, she was a cashier at an auto shop and she opened a roll of quarters from the bank and she noticed they looked "white" and sounded different. They sat in the cash drawer for a few weeks until most were distributed to customers as change. She said they were 'shiny" and all the same date 1964. By the time she was told what they were, there were only a few left. She "bought" them for a quarter, but most had already been distributed into circulation.
