WELCOME!!!

That's a lot of pennies to look through in 8 days. Your eyes must be really sore by now. :)

Could you tell me what method you use to handsort all these so fast?

Found a paper penny in a roll.

If a kid did it I would find it to be somewhat excusable.

For an adult to do it is worse than slipping a penny into the center of a dime roll. At least you got
a real penny.

People in this country, like the money supply, is quickly losing all integrity.

Sweden 50 ore - '02
Japan 10 yen (need a photo to know the date as the Japanese use a regnal date, it will show a certain number of years since the emperor was crowned) new coin. still very shiney.
Japanese 1 - need a photo to figure this one out. the gent looks like a buddist monk, ie bald, in a robe.

Very possible if your dump bank uses the same service guys as your source bank. From what I hear, banks order lots of pennies for their commericial customers.

actually this would have been in a roll of cwr that they did not give me, but got sent to their 'service' . as all my dumps go to the 4 branches of the one place that still has a free counter. when that one ends. i will be done with pennies.
