Am working out of town somewhere in Kansas this week swung by a bank for the treasure hunt while out to lunch. Asked for 2 boxes of nickels and 2 boxes of pennies just to test the local market. Well the nice lady slid a (peek a boo) box across the counter with all holes showing as red. Took another glance and realized that I found an un-circulated box of Professionals. Yipee!
The first panacea for a mismanaged nation is inflation of the currency; second is war. Both bring a temporary (and false) prosperity; both bring a permanent ruin. But both are the refuge of political and economic opportunities.
Got my first box of them a week or so ago. I never know how to respond mentally. Yea,, I get to sell them on ebay or grrrr now I can't search for my weekly sort for coppers. Oh well they fetched 60.00 + shipping on ebay so...
