Now I've Seen Everything ...
... I think.
I made my coin pickup today of CWR and MWR's.
There is one bank in a 55 and over community I go to.
Pick upped CWR's of cents, nickels, dimes and quarters.
Quarters produced nothing but a Good Luck Token,
dimes a 1946 and just a couple of nickels before 1959.
Cents had no Wheaties. Pick upped one of the cent rolls
and it felt light. Opening the end, I could not get anything
to come out. Cutting it open, the customer had placed a dime
wrapper inside. They had put 26 cents into the dime wrapper
and pushed it into the cent wrapper. Things must be getting bad.
Maybe the pension/SS checks are not going far enough. I've had
Tums, nuts, and other things put in wrappers. But this is new.
