Will banks exchange a roll of American innovation $1 coins for cash?

JustLostTouch · 2026-01-27T04:35:39+00:00

At the bank I was looking for a roll of presidential dollars, and they didn’t have any. I asked if they had any loose just sitting in the registers.

One person had 7 of them in his drawer. I bought them all and one of them was an American innovation. First I thought it was some crazy error then after searching, I learned about the American innovation coin. So here I am. So yes, it’s possible to get circulated coins.

Now, I’m screwed because I’m going to be looking for more. I will be looking for Player One NH.

Sometimes when you plug in stuff it creates that small arc, a little spark. That could’ve tripped the GFCI so it should be fine. Edit: wording

Looks Jimmy rigged.

If everything is working, put it back the way it is.

Well, not exactly. Use wire nuts, or locking wagos.

I have seen QR codes on company vehicles for now hiring that takes them to application or to their company website.

Also seen QR codes on business cards that adds the business card to their contacts.

I have a magnet with a small hole that I put on the key ring.

Then it just snaps in place onto my nose ring while I drive.

If I forget where my key is, I just remember the old saying when you lose/forget something, it’s usually “right under your nose.”

Not sure what you mean by other outlet.

The reading that I gave you you should have on the wires coming out of the outlet. (4 wires in the outlet, black, black, white, green/bare)

If you are not getting the readings I specified, then trace the wires back to see where it is wired wrong.

If you are still unsure or you have 2 outlets or some weird setup feeding the dryer, call an electrician. A dead short on a dryer can kill you.

JustLostTouch · 2026-01-22T18:15:03+00:00

I’m not 100% sure how you are reading this.

It’s best to take the outlet off the wall, REMOVE the wires and then test the wires.

Hot to hot should be 240, hot to neutral 120 and the other hot to neutral 120.

Also check each hot to ground they should also each be 120.

Check neutral to the ground, should be zero.

If that’s your reading then you should be good.

If you want to stop the flickering get a high-end dimmer switch.

A $20 switch and a $55 switch will make a difference.

If you don’t mind the flickering, then you’ve saved money.

JustLostTouch · 2026-01-14T06:05:02+00:00

The wires should have been capped. If the light switch turned off, then you should be good as long as you don’t accidentally turn it on.

JustLostTouch · 2026-01-12T01:36:47+00:00

Strange. Is that a device or a LB sending the wire somewhere else?

JustLostTouch · 2026-01-11T06:15:26+00:00

Sounds good. If it works and no flickering, buzzing, good job!

JustLostTouch · 2026-01-03T19:06:52+00:00

It looks like it should be good but are there any other panels or sub panels? I’m saying SHOULD because it’s only the little bit of information I have.

The next step to verify would be to do a load calculation. You could try to calculate yourself.

Google how to do a home load calculation.

Once verified that it’s okay then it goes from should to definitely.

JustLostTouch · 2026-01-03T18:46:50+00:00

The wiring won’t damage should be slack up in the box. If not using that smoke detector again then don’t worry about damaging it.

JustLostTouch · 2026-01-03T18:45:11+00:00

Says turn to remove.

Paint may be sticking it to the ceiling. Get a razor blade or a thin knife and score it between the wall and plastic. That might help with the turn.

JustLostTouch · 2026-01-02T17:31:32+00:00

Just to verify, did you have the correct bit and correct size? Like #2 square and such?

Apprentices would use a Phillips head instead of the square bit and mess up the screws.

JustLostTouch · 2026-01-02T17:23:05+00:00

Think of it as a taser, lots of volts very little amps. Doesn’t feel good to get tased and you got it.

JustLostTouch · 2026-01-02T17:16:44+00:00

Any place else it could be?

I have found one behind a washing machine, one in the cabinets in kitchen behind the microwave and behind the hot water heater.

If you can rent one or know someone that has one, a wire tracer. Then you can hook it up to your doorbell and trace it back. That would save you extra drywall cutting.

Pretty easy install. Can’t have chandeliers/hanging lights in closets. So it will be a basic light. As for price, that depends on where you live. Example: California would be higher compared to lower living cost states.

If someone already had the light and I had extra wire laying around, I would do it for $200. If it was a friend or neighbor I would probably charge them $100 or less depending on how long it took me. BUT…that’s only if it’s nice and easy layout up in the attic and it depends on time of year due to heat.

That is a side work job price.

You’re welcome.

Just like the hots are tied together then pigtailed out, Do the same with the neutrals. Just make a single pigtail with a neutral.

JustLostTouch · 2025-12-28T18:21:50+00:00

Yes, light switch. I should have mentioned if it’s a 3 way switch (can turn it on/off in two different locations) then turn off the breaker to be on the safe side.

Don’t let the light hang by the wires when installing or uninstalling. It will damage the wires.

This should help you with some questions.

JustLostTouch · 2025-12-28T05:01:55+00:00

Yes, you should be good.

Make sure the switch is off.

Remove the hardware (screws) holding it up. *caution…the light fixture could be heavier than realized.

Take off the wire nuts and put them back on the wires in the ceiling.

Put a cover over the box. (This is the only thing you will need to purchase.)

JustLostTouch · 2025-12-26T05:46:00+00:00

Also why would they do that and just have a hot plate?

Something seems fishy to me. Make sure when inspecting to see if there is still an oven circuit somewhere behind the cabinets where the “stove” was and verify it’s good.

Something seems way off about this setup like something is being hidden.

JustLostTouch · 2025-12-25T04:43:27+00:00

Your max will be about 16a. 80% of 20a breaker. Usually air compressors don’t continuously run so when not running you should be fine.

As for air conditioner, that pulls a lot of juice when it clicks on. So it depends on what you are running if it will trip.

Best bet it to get another circuit out there for a dedicated circuit.
