I bought a $1000 bag of quarters (about $5000)

I should have bought more but I was taking them on a plane and I was
trying to make my carry on reasonable. Coins did not trigger a sales
tax in Georgia at the time, it would have been 6% of $4000 in Florida.
(the difference between the price and "face"). This was prior to TSA
but I still had to go through a metal detector. The rentacop was
curious but they let me go through.

Oh good grief. You bought a bag of quarters? You must drink a lot of
pop. What a total fool. Quarters???

You're slipping, girl, you forgot to call him a moron and a racist.

Yup I am a complete moron

Quantity: 4000
Coin Type: 1932-1964 Washington Quarter
Silver Price: $39.90 / troy ounce

Total silver value is $28,863.33.

(as of Friday)

Probably worth much more as collectors items.

Roman empire did similar, started currency with gold, then silver, then
copper, then bronze and then iron and script... when they went under.
