Re: Cash
It took some time, but I just sorted out a baker's dozen of piles of cash that I stored in multiple one gallon waterproof Ziploc bags. I have no idea how I accumulated so much pocket change...

All kinds of interesting stuff in there: a few Susan B. Anthony $1 coins, lots of Jefferson Nickles (you only need one to take apart a 1911) dated back to the 1950's, Roosevelt dimes galore, some Canadian coins that apparently were passed off as dimes and quarters, some coins that were double stamped, those junk quarters from every state, and lots of those crappy new pennies that feel lighter than air and have an artsy flag stamped on the back. When I put on my 10X set of eyeballs for a magnified look, I felt like my past was zipping by with many of the dates being associated with something that happened that specific year in my life...
It was my goal this April to head to FLA and scatter hundereds of those cheap pennies in the sand on the beach - just to make a metal detector junkie's day thinking he found lost rings, gold doubloons, etc. Looks like that fishing trip is now crossed off my list.
Hard to imagine that currency that used to buy you somethiing at the store a few decades ago is now on its way to loosing all purchasing power given the trillions of dollars of fiat currency now being printed. What a reset button they pressed, eh?
Hey, did anybody see a Lincoln Wheat cent in the pile? I know I found several of them after going through all the piles...
It used to be that "A penny saved was a penny earned..."
But now? Not so much.Last edited by bamboomaster; March 18th, 2020 at 09:16 PM.

Re: Cash
Grocery stores, gas stations and power companies will always accept credit cards or a bank transfer. If they go down cash isn't going to help you......or even gold and silver.
The only currency will be food, fuel, firearms and toilet paper.

Re: Cash
Suggest broad assortment of denominations...hundreds are nice, but if you're buyin' stuff less than that, no one's gonna be able to make change...

Re: Cash
I'm not sure what planet YOU are living on, but I, not all that infrequently, encounter situations where either MY card doesn't work, for whatever reason, or they are flat out and out DOWN for card transactions and it is cash only.
No fucking way would I not have cash on me if I could at all help it, when driving a car.
