I don't keep them. If you wanted to find one you wouldn't have to look very long at all. There is plenty in the pond.

Ah, well, yes, you may say that, but they are deteriorating every day. For example, These sacks of dollars contain tons of 2010, 2011 and 2012 dollars. And they're all ready for the knackery. But just now I dug out a couple of bags of stuff I stashed away a couple of years ago without even looking at it. I've now got dozens and dozens of 2008, 2007, 2006, and even 2005 and as far back as 2002, in aUNC or even slightly better. The worst of these coins far surpasses the best of the newer ones. :sun_bespectacled:

As I keep telling people, you can always discard them at any time in the future, but you can't call them back once you do. And keeping them only costs the pitiful interest a bank might deign to pay you (less taxes).

How many people do you suppose threw out wavy 2's back in the 60's because they couldn't be bothered? Imagine having a stash of them in UNC now? :angel:
