Looks like you hit the jackpot Franklin! It might be time to start planning that vacation trip up north! Or even down to our neighbor to the south! OK, time for a family vote! Which would each of you rather do: go to Canada or Mexico?

Parts of my town is Mexico. I was in line at the bank and the five customers in front of me all Spanish speakers. This bank is in a store most of there customers were speaking Spanish. All the tellers are from Mexico , Central America . I did my transaction in Spanglish just for fun. :mrgreen:

Do you ever get to go to coin shows? Has Franklin had a chance to show his stuff off to people in person? I think if he brought that stuff to "my table," I would wanna trade with him. Just for fun.

Franklin like show and tell with the bank tellers. Franklin hates crowds and will fall apart in a crowd. My wife and younger son Theodore are going to the DC , NYC and the east coast in April as that Franklin can not handle the travel. Also Franklin has a hard time with change so it will be the two of us when they are gone. Having an autistic teen takes a lot of work. I and my wife had two dates last year.

3/10/2011 Today there was a new front counter person and Franklin ask her to open the counter for him and she said I do not think we do that. Franklin then went down to the Credit Unions managers office and ask the managers to help him. So now the new person is in the loop now. :mrgreen: Also when we get home Franklin want be to cut the fused coin apart and pull the gum off the coins so he can buy more cent to sort. I think I will end up with a cut one of these days.

Hmmm...not as much as last time (perhaps the sheeple got their tax refunds? I say that because CWR rolls of any kind are way down in my area). But eh, who cares, as it's free, right?

Free is good. Free is my second favorite four letter word that starts with the letter F. :)
