I thought it would be a good idea to have some roles of Sacajewea coins stashed in the truck for emergencies. I should have put them in strong plastic bags. They had gotten damp over the years and corroded, stuck together and covered in green gunk. I tried to clean them up to no avail.
I did get them unstuck. One of these days I’ll see if the coin machine at the store will recognize them so I can get my money back. Maybe a bank?
Take them to a bank. They’re still recognized as legal coins.

How ingenious of the government to create a high value coin out of a metal that would corrode. Meanwhile, roman gold and silver coins buried for 500-1500 years can look like new.
