When I was a kid, w found a broken roll of silver dollars in a pile of leaves in the street.

Back then it was a whole lot of money, especially for a kid to find wasn’t it.

Back when we found it blowing all over the place, must have been 1961 maybe 62, there were people doing oilfield work bringing home maybe $200/month and that would be for 60 or more hours work/week.

The $25-$30 we found was a lot of money.

There was 3 or 4 of us that found it. I found $12 because I kept going out day after day looking for more.

I/we would pick it all up one day then maybe a few days or a week later just like magic more money would appear and be blowing all over the place.

Being kids we have visions of bank robbers coming to get us because we had their money.

In the early 1950's, my Mom got a couple of rolls of nickels from a bank for our school "milk money"; one of them consisted entirely of Liberty Head nickels from the late 1800's.

I don't recall what the parents did with them, but they sure as hell didn't go to the elementary skoo cafeteria.

depending on how old you are, that would be VERY cool, or just cool...
