Check Your Change Twin Falls ID; Rare Dime Could Net You $500K

For those in Idaho who have some serious coinage lying around, it's time to inspect your stockpile for a rare dime that collectors say could fetch half a million dollars at auction. CHA-CHING!

I seldom have cash in my wallet, but that's another story in itself. Everywhere we go these days has almost outlawed cash. Just try to bring bills with you to a sporting event or concert and you'll see what I'm talking about; it's a pain in the ass carrying cash.

Jars, cars, and drawers are common stash spots for coins. I keep mine in a cash box, and I recently opened it up to see if I won the dime lottery. As it turns out, I did not.

The word "rare" doesn't even begin to describe a dime printed in 1975 in San Francisco that to this day remains unaccounted for. Only two from that year have an "s" that was left off the coin, according to fox9.com. Similar errors were made in other years at the same Bay Area mint, but those coins aren't nearly as valuable as the 1975 duo.

Good luck coin hunting! Don't forget to wash your hands afterward.
