lol .... well it wasn't my eyes that caught it the first time. Since I'm the manager I get to do what I want and I generally cash out at night. People make fun of me for actually counting the change and even worse for counting the pennies, but I do it by feeling each coin .... I shuffle them with my thumb across my middle and index fingers and I listen for the sound of the drop. It's how I find all the funky coins at work.
When I felt this one and heard it fall differently I looked at it. At first glance it looked like one of the newer buffs. I went back and checked it after I finished counting all the change. I glanced and still thought it was newer but noticed the wear so I inspected it closer. I pulled a clad nickel out of my pocket, put it in the drawer and put the buff in my pocket. I never really knew what it was until I got home and had my other half inspect it while I put my PJs on. lol... I didn't want to take the time to check it out at work but didn't want to pass it up because I KNEW it was different.
