$200 in nickels, $100 in pennies (01-30-2008)

[GMan00001]

Did my last pickup for January.
1 - $200 bag of nickels
2 - $50 bags pennies

One of my normal stops is apparently changing coin prep times as although I have been picking up at the same time every week for a few months now, the last two weeks I keep getting "Sorry, all have been prepped for the Fed can't sell them"

Oh well, I can already tell I probably won't hit most of my 2008 CRH goals as I just am plain running out of time to do much searching.
1) Work is getting really busy (FYI: I work at a small company that appears as if it is about to take off).
2) My wife recently signed me up to run Grandma's marathon in about 20 weeks so I am officially in training now which uses a lot of my non-work time as well as tires me out so I end up going to bed earlier. For the past few years I have hinted that I should run it, but just never bothered to sign up or missed the deadline.
3) Family

I am still keeping up with the tracking list as that doesn't take much effort after January, but I'll probably be down to only a couple of misc bags/week for at least 5-6 months if not longer unless I have free time.

Anyway on to the coins. Had to stay home with my son half the day today as he isn't feeling well so I finally got a chance to search the bag of nickels I picked up 2 days ago.

Pretty good bag.

I am still trying to play catch up with the penny bags as I still have around $400 in pennies to search from Jan so it might be awhile before I get to these.
