Rare 1943 Steel Wheat Pennie make an offer OBO
Yeah, on a side note, I got a wheat back penny in change just a couple days ago. Not one of the steel ones but they're still circulating. Yep every once in a while. I can spot the old ones by their patina and then I check for the wheaties.
I think they circulate more than other currency because they tend to stay in civilian hands. Most people aren't turning their wheat pennies into banks. I don't know what establishments do with them. The bank pulls old notes, but do they pull old pennies? I think that Penny is worth about .45 cents.
I read that Old Coins are not destroyed unless they are so worn or mutilated they don't work in a counting machine.
That makes sense.
Also I'm pretty sure "establishments" what ever that means as well as people do indeed turn them in to banks.
Like when you have a large jug full of pennies what else do you do with them?
When I married my wife she worked at a bank. I had her bring big bags of coins home so I could sort through and keep all the old ones.

"mileage indicator" Odometer? I think I saw that ad. It could be they know when the odometer stopped working and just guessed the mileage.
But older cars only went to 100,000 and then started over at zero. I don't know if that's true with an 84 Camry.

Little old lady cars that weren’t driven or just driven around town are always a risk.
Very true. Cars need to be driven. My buddy called it "lot rot" All the fluids need to be circulated fairly often.

That was for really old cars. I've owned cars from the 80's and they had over 100,000 miles on their odometers.

I think Japaneses cars were the first ones to have odometers that had six digits.

I'm sure you car is not old enough to go back to zero.. It's a 93? Anyway you don't have to wait and see you can tell by the amount of numbers on your odometer.

OK, as for the Toyota, yep, it has over 250, 000 miles on it, so it does have the numbers and doesn't stop at 100,000. I think the Toyota is a...'78 or something?

Right but an American car that's 1978 might only go to 100K.

Maybe it's only bills they do that with.
Speaking of coin counters, I finally filled my box of coins and went to RCU and the coin counter was gone! Go to the other ones, they said...but I don't get over to those sides that often.

Yeah, they seem to be getting harder to find these days. I know there's one at the RCU on N. Phoenix Rd. I used to use the one at Chase but it's gone, then the one at Key Bank but it's gone too.

Interesting, since they told me to go to that one on North Phoenix Road.
