Coins

Missouri has a billion dollars in unclaimed property that is never spoken for. There's a one in ten chance that they have something meant for you based on statistics. There's an easy way to find out if you're one of the lucky ones.

I envy those who find rare old coins and cash them in for small fortunes. That's not realistic for the rest of us though. However, did you know there are quarters that are only a couple of years old in Missouri that you could easily find and cash in for big bucks if they have certain errors? It's true and I'll show you.

I don't think I'm telling you something you don't know when I say that a penny is normally worth one cent. But, did you know that it's possible to find certain pennies in circulation in Missouri that could be worth 5 figures (or more)?

Some 2005 Kansas quarters have an error where it says In God We Trust which could make them worth big time bucks.

Time to check those coins again as there's one in the wild that could be worth thousands. If you come across a 1932 Missouri quarter, spin that bad boy around because one letter on the back could mean you're about to cash in real money.

When I think of valuable coins, I think of those held by collectors that end up going to auction. In this case, that's not accurate. You might want to check your Missouri pennies as one was found in circulation that later sold for 18,000 bucks.

I was taught that a quarter is always worth 25 cents, but I've learned that's not always true. There is in fact one quarter that is worth more than $80,000 and it's possible it could be hiding in Missouri in someone's pocket or piggy bank.

I was always taught that a quarter is worth 25 cents. That apparently is not always correct. I'll give you an example. If you find a certain quarter in Missouri, it's actually worth 500 bucks. I'll explain.

Have you ever wondered about the coins that seem to be placed on top of military headstones at cemeteries? You might be surprised to find out their meaning.
