Default Had a nice surprise...

Hunted a school playground today found a handful of coins but when I got home I noticed one of my "quarters" was actually one of the newer dollar coins. I like those kinds of surprises !!! I should probably go over all the rest of the "quarters" Ive found recently and see if I might have some more.

Hey Chris, the exact same thing happened to me recently too, thought I had 6 quarters, when I cleaned them off, noticed one was a little bigger than the rest, then saw it was a dollar coin, I was pleasantly surprised too.
