Finds from 03-22-2008

[GMan00001]

Did my semi-typical weekend trip to a bank just a bit from home (15 minutes or so) that sells me bags from their coin machine.

Picked up
1 - $500 bag of dimes
2 - $100 bags of nickels
2 - $50 bags of pennies

Also got 2 - $50 bags of pennies and 4 Ikes from a different bank.

Only went through the dimes so far
2 pre-1965 Roosevelt (1946, 1963-D)

2 Canadian (1979(2))

1 Foreign (Cayman Islands, 5 Cents (1990))

For those that don't already know Red = First time I have found that variety in 2008.

I'll get to the rest later as I have some errands to run.

Wowsers is right! Amazing totals! Nice going.

But how many lithium batteries do you need for a whole roll? LOL

Apparently in some coin machines they are worth a nickel as I have now found 2 or 3 of them....all as nickels.
hmm...new way to recycle used lithium batteries?
