You have no humorous comment to make because "the time is short" and "soon the Feds will be taking our pennnies away from us"!

Every bank employee in town knows you as the "penny guy", and has sent you away multiple times but you keep going back.

You know you are serious about pennies when.....The post office fears coming everyday because he doesn't know how many 68lb boxes you will have for him to pick up!

You know more about the coin machine at the bank then the girls trying to fix it. You have to tell them how to fix it.

Or you are in safeway or another store shopping and you stop to help the employees fix their coin counting (coin star or other) machine because they can't figure it out.

...you buy a pair of Dr. Scholl's socks only because the label says they have copper ions in them to control odors.

Unfortunately, the package doesn't indicate pure cu weight, so I don't know if I paid too much at $4 pair.

You know you spend to much time at the bank when your son, who is not the sorter, says,"Look, Dad! I made a Lego CoinStar !!!!!!!"

Also when you are not a Canadian but you know the dates of cents by the looks of the coins. 1920-1936 King George, the 1867-1967 one and others! :D

You know you are serious when...

A delivery comes in a armored car and it is all for you.

Your dump bank has to schedule an extra pick days because of you.

You refuse to spend any pennies and scold others around you for doing so without you first checking the date.

Your heart races as you crack open a roll

The bank calls you for change when they run out!

Today we stopped by Chase that is inside of a Fred Meyer Department store picking up some CWR. And were told that they only had $2.00 but if we had been there before Chris had gone to lunch we could have more. As we were leaving we heard someone yelling Franklin and it was Chris he was four hundred feet away eating his lunch in his car and he saw Franklin and he cut his lunch short in went back into the bank to sell us $20 more of CWR out of his till. So having a son who loves pennies who the tellers love him is great! :D

You know the time and day that the armored truck will arrive at your pickup bank. The tellers know that you know. Maybe even the manager knows. But, you are not suspected to be "casing" the place.

You know that the one teller likes M&M's but not with peanuts

The manager had a talk with you about your "penny ordering" and you have to explain to him that your money is just as good elsewhere, and other banks have no problem with you as a client.

You have the teller who orders cash and coin on your speed dial

You make deals with copper pennies as a barter item.

I have pulled in several times while the armored car is leaving. Would be easier to do the exchange in the parking lot.

You count your money in groups of $68.

... when more money leaves your bank account in the form of pennies than all other denominations and purchases combined.

... when the Branch Manager has your phone number memorized.

... when you think you’re witty making puns about having "cents/sense.”

... when you have all major die varieties of pennies minted in the last 100 years memorized.
