Eight surgery boxes

[Cerulean]

I'm having my wisdom teeth out, all four of 'em, on the 7th, and I'm getting general anesthesia. There will be a few days afterwards when I'm going to want to rest, and in preparation, I ordered 8 boxes from Wachovia, four of pennies and four of nickels. It's my incentive for getting this procedure done, which I've been putting off since 2000; I won't open any rolls until those teeth are out.

The boxes were all printed with the Brinks name and logo. The coins were all of mixed age, wrapped in clear plastic. They let me use their cart to wheel them out to my car. As I left the bank, I noticed a Loomis armored truck parked outside. I thought my boxes were Brinks. Now I'm confused!

I also picked up one roll of Madison dollars and one roll of Monroe dollars.

Sorting reports pending...

Glad you survived your surgery. I bet it was easier to pull that buffalo out than your chompers. Nice deal!
