Bank needs help finding owner of rare gold coins
March 26th, 2009 @ 10:02pm

SALT LAKE CITY -- Bank officials and police would like to know who the
mysterious woman is who walked into a bank with a fistful of gold
coins and exchanged them for only a couple hundred dollars. The coins,
some more than a century old, are worth at least 50 times that much.
It happened last week at a St. George-area branch of Zions Bank. "A
woman came into the branch and approached a teller saying that she had
these coins," explained Rob Brough, executive vice president of Zions
Bank.
She told the teller she had groceries waiting but the nearby Wal-Mart
wouldn't accept her coins. The teller gave her face value, 20 bucks a
piece, for 14 coins.
"At the bank, we don't deal with anything other than face value, and
so she was just asking us to exchange the coins for dollars," Brough
said.
But the coins are worth thousands, at least. Zions Bank showed us to
see three of the 14, which date from 1875 to 1927.

Hmmmmm...didn't we have a poster from St. George here a while back?
Involved with the Boy Scouts and then moved to Texas?

Yup. His last message to us was essentially that we are a nest of vipers
and that he would be leaving us to slither amongst ourselves. He was right,
of course, but he didn't have to rub it in.

I wonder if there's a descriptive word for a group of vipers that doesn't
"nest" together. Maybe just a "bunch" would cover it.

Howdy;
Reminds me of the time a tourist in Hawaii asked a local if it was
pronounced
"Hawaii" or Havaii" He said "Havaii". She thanked him and he said
"your velcome"
Sorry, just had to say it :)

Sounds like a quote from a 1940's super-villain. Something best handled by
one from the Justice League.

so she was just asking us to exchange the coins for dollars," Brough
said.
Aha! ye, specially in this kind of banks.... f.u. parasites

owner isn't exactly high up there on the IQ list. Just leave gold
coins lying around the house. Yeah, real smart.

=====================
ST. GEORGE -- Mystery solved! The owner of 14 gold coins has been
identified, and the woman who took them to a bank near St. George has
been arrested.
The mystery woman who exchanged the coins has been the subject of
gossip and a police investigation for a couple of weeks. Now she's in
jail.
At first, the mystery woman seemed to be a sympathetic victim because
she got only $20 each for coins worth $900 apiece.
Now, police say Emily Cammack, 25, was actually a thief and the real
owner never knew the coins were missing.
Some people suspected all along the coins were stolen because whoever
cashed them in at the Washington City Branch of Zions Bank evidently
had no idea of their value. Now, officials say it was Missouri
resident Cammack who was living with a family in the St. George
suburbs.
Washington City police Lt. Ed Kantor said, "She had met this family
via the Internet, had befriended some members of the family and had
moved here from out of state to live with them."
In the house she found 15 gold coins. "She searched through the house,
obviously, for articles of value and came across the coins," Kantor
said.
She secretly pilfered them, kept one and traded the other 14 to the
bank. She got the face value, $20 each, $280 total.
If she'd sold them to a coin shop, she might have walked away with
$12,000.
But her biggest mistake came later. On Tuesday of this week she
accompanied her friend on an errand to the bank!
Rob Brough, vice president of Zions Bank, said, "She showed up in the
same branch as the one she exchanged the coins at. And so when she
came in, our employees recognized her."
