A dime with a built in themometer would have been very handy
Thanks for the info.

Same here a few mercury dimes. I did buy some on candy machines and they had more in quarters in them than I paid for the machines plus they had the keys with them....

I picked up a machine yesterday and when I pulled the coin box out there were 2 quarters in it. Both new 1996 and a 1995. The machine had the key with it. I don't understand why the guy I got it from did not at least check it out. Anyway I just feel like I got a .50 cent rebate on my purchase.

QUOTE Mercury dime was last produced in 1945, with the Roosevelt dime starting in 1946. Thanks Brent! .1% margin for error. My book is packed away at the moment, but I was close.

QUOTE .1% margin for error. Okay, we'll let it slide this time! :'>
Even though my grandapa used to tell me that close only counts in horseshoes, hand grenades and thermonuclear war!

Of the few of you that make money of the vending business...how many of you actually look at the coins instead of imediatly depsiting them in the bank??
I'm gone through pocket change a few times and found some really valuable coins... (My biggest hobby is collecting vintage silver coins)

I did that years ago when I managed a retail store. Doing the books at night and counting the cashier trays, I'd keep an eye out for them.

Hey
My wife decided to collect the state quarters when they first came out to include both the P & D mints. So her interest lasted about 3 or 4 months.
Now that I have a coke machine at the office I check the quarters every week. It has helped finding the Denver mint coins.
I average about $65 a week from my coke machine & my lance candy machine.
Kevin
