I'm glad that was a good experience, @@. And now you're bringing back good memories of *my* grandfather, who also collected coins and would give me some occasionally on visits. I'm guessing coin collecting is less popular now, with so many transactions being cashless. Less chance of randomly getting a buffalo nickel or wheat penny back in a transaction, for example.
