That is nuts. I think I have three.
Someone must have recently died and a family member probably just dumped a bunch at the bank.

Or a kid stole his dad's dime roll to pay for snacks, shame really

Oh I definitely did that to get a Screwball from the ice cream man. Who even knows what I gave that guy. Just some coins I found
Honestly it's my Dad's fault for not giving me an allowance for doing chores.

My half brother did that to with a roll of silver dimes. Put it in an arcade in the 80s. I keep all my rare coins in a combination lock box now

Oh wow, arcades probably got some pretty sweet Dad collections stolen by kids who needed to Double Dragon.

My vice was soul calibur and time crisis. I never stole coins though, only paper like a civilized child of the 90s

Well by the mid 90's the dollar had really begun it's decline so yeah the age of paying for things with change was over.
