Who's gonna break that bill if the bank won't even take it?

I had a family member who had hundreds of dollars of rare coins saved up. Shortly before he died, he took them to the bank to change them in. Of course, the bank only gave him face value for his ultra-rare coin collection. They saw nothing wrong with taking rare coins from a senile man and giving him (literally, pun intended) pennies on the dollar for them.

so, they were just being nice and letting her know she had more than she realized? that's so un-bank like. i figured they would have just deposited them. money's money, right?

This is something my greatgrandmother would do. Who wants to bet this woman is over 70?

I like that her $1,000 bills are worth $4,500. Somehow that's funny and awesome.
