Did my annual clad boil and Coinstar machine trip tonight...started by taking out the obvious bent ones...then boiling about the past year's worth of clad into a dirt soup...dryed the coins, then headed to the Coinstar machine. Ran the coins through and got $46.54 minus the 8% they keep, so it was $42 something. I always look carefully while drying the coins and placing them though the machine that there's no silver or some other missed gem. I did find a Grover Cleveland token, one of those they gave away in the early 1900s or so, I think at gas stations. I had put it in the coins a while back by mistake. That was cool to find. I took my earnings from all that digging, went to the nice restaurant near my house, sat at the bar and ordered the pork chops with apples and onions. I wish I had my camera to photo it when it arrived. Two glistening grilled chops, thick and piled high with apples and onions, all on top of a mountain of mashed potatoes. Tasted good and especially knowing it was all covered by the clad (it was only about $20). Very enjoyable use of the clad...I suggest a clad boil if you haven't done one.
clear broth ) , threw a hot dog in it and called it good...
