Default Check Your Change! You May Be Rich!

People are paying big bucks for messed up quarters! They said they released a few Wisconsin quarters that have an extra leaf on it. No big deal...but people are paying hundreds of dollars for them on eBay.

Heres the original source.

No luck for me...dont even have a normal Wisconsin one...time for a trip to the bank.

The treasury does such a good job making sure that coins are uniform that when there are flaws, they're instantly worth money to collectors..those guys selling the coins should hold on to them longer..they'll be worth more in the future.
