I think pretty much all the silver coins I’ve received in change for many years now have been because kids (or druggies) stole coin collections and spent the coins on candy or whatever.
I worked 30 years ago in car parts.
The shade tree mechanics and car nuts and Rodders all were mostly white trash of course. I got plenty of interesting older coins, and foreign. I figure the families just collected change over decades in jars and the hicks and rednecks scraped up whatever money they could find.
Cars and coins were my hobbies so it was a great way to find some free stuff. Even an occasional old bill that was truly green, and a silver certificate.
I agree.
