Teflers are anespecial.ly enviable
position in the opportunities they
are afforded to acquiiae rare
coins and old, bills. * Not Only are
uncommon United States coins
sometimes deposited by careless
or indifferent patrons, but oc-
casionally old foreign coins find
their >vay to the teller's till. Em-
. ployes in the office of the United
States Subtreasury in any large
city, where these are established,
have even a better chance than
the bartk tellers to get hold of
rare money. They get gold and
silver pieces from every part of
the country. and not^ infre-
quently they receive coins and
bills that practical! are out of
circulation, not-being recalled by
even "the oldest inhabitant.," ,

is futile, but interesting to spec-

be sure it was not spent" for

ship. Certainly, many of our
forbears made use of it either
for luxuries or necessities. A
vast amount of historical specu-
lation may well be attached to
such a note, which was in cir-
culation during the most stiring
and interesting period of our
country 's career- ^
