We all have one of those piggy banks or even a change cup around your home or office.

Some even fill those huge 5-gallon water jugs with change to save all those pocket change for a rainy day.

What if I told you that a rare dime could be mixed in with your change collection that could be the equivalent of hitting the lottery?

Maybe not a billionaire, or even a millionaire, but coming across a dime worth $500,000 isn't anything to laugh at.

What's known as a "proof coin" could be a part of your collection and you may not even know about it.

What Dime Is Worth $500,000?

A "proof coin" is a coin with a near mirror-like reflection from a highly polished cye, and is typically meant for collectors.

This particular missing cash cow dime was made in 1975 and is the most valuable of its kind.

Think you may have seen this special gold-mine dime?

How Do You Know If You Have A Rare Dime Worth Money?

Not only will it look as shiny as a mirror when you hold it up, but it'll have a special marking on it.

All coins have a letter on the front signifying which U.S. Mint it was created in.

Example: When coins are made in Denver, they have a tiny D on them.

This particular coin has the letter S on it.

If you have a super shiny dime from 1975, with an S on it, it may just be your lucky day.

Take that extremely rare piece of money to get appraised and you may have just lucked into a small fortune.

Maybe one of these rich folks in Colorado would buy it off of you...
