In my quest to get some money for crypto investing! I've caught the bug hard and my first week has been super exciting.

I rolled all my change in my house to take to the bank. It wasn't a massive amount but it all slowly adds up.

Of course while I was at it being a coin collector I had to search through it while I went. You never know what you may find.

There are even a lot of people out there that actively "coin roll hunt" or go to the bank buy customer rolled change and search it for silver and key dates. I've considered but never found the time.

First I searched through the quarters, I pulled out all the commemorative ones, most don't have any real value and are heavily circulated, but I've always found these make nice like free gifts in eBay sales or giving them away to young collectors at coin shows etc.

Unfortunately no silver, I'm not sure I've ever found a silver quarter, but they had since in 1968 and earlier coins.

If anyone even wants any let me know, I'd be happy to send them to a loving home.

Next it was the nickels, since I'm one of those crazy stackers who also follows the base metal prices and hordes everything anyways. I also pull out all the pre-1982 nickels that were actually made of 99% Nickel. Last I checked the Nickel value in them was around 7-8 cents and who knows what the future will bring.

Last but not least were the dimes, there a few little commemorative varieties in the mix but otherwise not a lot too look for hear. The early ones were pure nickel also (as with the quarters as well actually) but that face value and mass of them doesn't make sense to hoard them away.

Today I did hit a nice score and found 1 silver quarter from 1968. In 68 they made to varieties a 99.9% nickel one and 50% silver one. It's easy to tell them apart with a magnet since the Nickel variety is magnetic but the silver one is not!

The dime is quite small and at 50% silver the value isn't very high but it's still exciting to find free silver!

Anyways I know @raybrockman told everyone to double check there change, but there's a quick heads up about what to look for here in Canada
