I remember back in the day (like 40 years ago) guys would have stashes of said coinage. Wonder what happened to it all.
Every once in a while there would be a handful or so would turn up in change at the local convenience store - guessing somebody found (or stole) granny’s collection.
The Great Recession shook a lot of coins free. Damn cashiers at my grocery store snagged some walking libertys, but I got a Franklin, and quite a few Kennedys.
