Transport pennies with a bicycle and a trailer(convert an old kid trailer or something)

Ive seen different types of boxes so depends what your getting

Open rolls... cwr i like to push the pennies through so the roll can be reused.... bwr i use a razor to cut it open quick.

Sort... ryedale!!! Then i handsort the coppers to get the wheats and canadians out.

Roll i use these counting tubes http://www.amazon.com/PM-Company-Color- ... B000RX0W3K

ship. Medium flat rate... follow directions in the sticky.

I heard someone using a mirror on the floor and then sorting the cents on a thick pane of glass over the mirror. Wheats are either on top and looking at you or wheat stalk down showing in the mirror.

Ryedale then optical sort of copper cents. There are actually faster specialized machines such as a Mach 12, but most here prefer a Ryedale
Roll a roll?(I roll the coppers back up and I don't want to keep counting to 50)
Automatic coin rolling machines.. but they are heavy and expensive
Ship a box?
USPS Medium Flat Rate shipping of $100 Face Value.. Called a CTU (Copper Trade Unit) by seasoned RealCenters There are detailed instructions with pictures in the forums under the topic Shipping Pennies the proper way.

I added a front basket to my bike (though for more varied reasons), I find it will take 2
boxes ($50) of pennies. Technically it would "fit" much more than that but that's about
the comfortable weight limit before things get wobbly. This way it's up front where you
can see it.

Some people perfer to go a bit more intense on each trip though...

I have seen them transported here on RC via a sled, if no snow then maybe a lil red wagon
Open a box? (I keep the box to store the coppers)
I use a Buck #290 Rush silver drop point knife to slice open the tape sealing the box
Open a roll?
Poly tubes...I use the same knife above but I do not leave marks on the cents. Paper rolls...the knife to unroll, a heavy metal object to bust open the rolls...some cut off a crimped end and then push out the cents with their finger or a stick.
Sort a roll?(I'm looking fo the quickest way to sort out the coppers and wheats)
Ryedale of course....maybe the next best would be a gram scale the reads to the tenth or better.
Roll a roll?(I roll the coppers back up and I don't want to keep counting to 50)
I don't know here, I toss in a drum....but maybe the scale would work also if you have one that goes to 155 grams
Ship a box?
Yeah see Hoards sticky....
