I noticed today that in my change that I had two silver dimes and 3 wheat pennies. As unscientific as it sounds, my theory of how bad the economy is currently hinges on the number of older coins that find themselves back in circulation. The idea is that everyone will inevitably have a jar in their house that collects loose change. Normally this change only heads out of said jar if it is for a 'special treat' or if you are so broke you are buying your ramen soup in a cup with loose coins. The older coins are normally near the bottom, and only go back out if it gets really tight.
Fifty cents a cup, and the self checkout doesn't judge or make faces.
