In reply to Christine. Haha... nice. Probably more fun getting dirty with dollars than elsewhere I suppose? :)

In reply to J. Money. Interesting fact...I remember reading somewhere that there have been several propositions of getting rid of the penny but it is still the most highly circulated of all US coins.

#3 is why I LOVE dollar coins! Also, since I’m a bank teller, I’m not AT ALL surprised with #7. Most of the time after counting money for a while my fingertips literally turn black from the dirt (gross!) so who knows what else is on there. I literally use the phrase “dirty money hands” several times a day. Great article!

#7 makes sense, the amount of people that can handle a bill or coin over it life time. No fantasies of sex with money?

YES PLEASE!!!!

The coins probably aren’t worth anything, but I do like sorting through them and collecting anyways :) The silver certificate is probably worth $2-$3 unless it’s a rarity (I’ll tell you if it is and we can split our millions, haha…)

Emailed you – thanks so much!

Speaking of money, today’s my last day at the bank and I’ve got a bunch of random foreign coins and a $1 silver certificate I can send your way. Not sure what any of it’s worth, but just shoot me an email! :)

In reply to Done by Forty. If I'm not mistaken, I believe the guy had a peg leg or something similar.. We took a tour of the Denver Mint at FINCON '12, and I could have sworn they told this story to us. In their version though the guy had a major limp (due to said leg problem) and the employees didn't question him because he was always hunched over and what not. So when he was struggling to carry it out, he looked normal. And then they said they hired him back later or something weird?? I could be butchering this.

In reply to Charlie @ Our Journey To Zero Debt. Isn't that partially to help blind people though? I'm pretty sure I read that somewhere over the years... imagine trying to count OUR bills? #nightmare
