I have a small plastic coin bank that has some random weird coins in it but I have not opened it in a few years. Today I decided to pop it opened and I found this!
Yep, that's a $1 roll of nickels :D
It's not just that, though, it's a roll of nickels from Slots A Fun casino in Las Vegas...from the 90s!!
Holy schnikes I just realized it's #ninetiesfriday #ffs
Anyhow, back to the nickels. Casinos use to have shitloads of coins because the slot machines use to take only coins. They had coin rooms with multiple counting/wrapping machines. Imagine the noise in those rooms!
Slots A Fun was a kick-ass little one room casino next door to Circus Circus. It's really just a crosswalk through the parking lot from Circus Circus. They use to have a deli counter with foot long hot dogs for a buck. That was in the 80s. I remember staying at Circus Circus with my brother and our folks and walk here with my pop to get the one dollar footlong dogs.
So this little roll is a memento of that time, guess I'll keep 'em rolled up :)
