Sweet!

I remember when I used to get bags :cry:

TD's coin service now forbids them from selling bags (supposedly)

So-wheat! Sounds like someone dumped Grandpa's wheat collection. Getting bags must be nice, I've tried tons of banks and none will sell me bags :cry:

The "average" was talking about 10 wheats from one bag. My copper percentages range from 18% to 49%. At least from my bags. The boxes, which I haven't done in awhile, still average roughly 28%.

Just ran 2 more bags, $100 face. Feels like close to 40% to me! Low wheats and more canadians! :D
