Todd’s Take: I’m Rich! (Or So I Thought)

Is there any better feeling than putting on a pair of pants or a coat and finding a $20 bill in the pocket you'd long-since forgotten about?

Recently, while going through some boxes of old junk at my house, I stumbled across a Morgan silver dollar. These were minted back when our money was actually... MONEY! Coins were made entirely of silver or copper and the particular coin I found was dated 1887! Holy s--t!  1887?!?! That's, like... One hundred... *hmmm, carry the one*... One hundred and 29 years old! I'm rich, bitch!

Quick! To the Google Machine!

"How much is an 1887 Morgan dollar worth?"

According to CoinStudy.com, about the spot price of silver, or, as of today, $19.91.

Damn. Guess I better show up to work tomorrow.
