Save your pennies! Coins in circulation may be worth up to $1,000, says expert

Noted coin dealer Scott Travers announced three years ago he had released three rare and valuable pennies into circulation, but none of the coins has been reported found.

"Not only does it appear that these three pennies are out there waiting for someone to cash them in for a pretty penny, there are lots of others that are just like them that are out there," said Travers, author of the book "One-Minute Coin Expert."

Some people actually do pretty well finding old coins from "coin roll hunting" by getting rolls of coins from the bank and going through them.  I know of many people that find silver halves, wheat, and even some indian head pennies that way.  Talked to a guy last week that found 4 mercury dimes in a roll of dimes he got from a bank.
