Nifty...

My roommate found an 1897 nickel today. It's worth a couple bucks at most, considering the condition, but still damn nifty.

A Liberty nickel, like this? Probably someone spending an old coin collection.

Yep. Less worn, but yep.

And honestly, I've seen a few old Buffalo head nickels, plenty of wheat cents, and a few other old coins over the years.

Also, plenty of Canadian money. Which is slightly odd considering we're in the Deep South.

Probably from Canadian "Snowbirds", golden agers headed down to Florida for the winter. I have a couple of rusty Buffalo Head nickles too, probably given to me by my grandfather ages ago.
