$50 dollar bags make my fingers hurt!
Posted: Mon Jan 10, 2011 1:12 pmStopped at a small bank in a town of 500 people about 20 miles north of me on friday. Went in and asked the teller if she had any pennys to sell..She replied I only have about thirty dollars in rolls, and some in bags in the valt. How much do you have in the bags? She said I have $600.00, I said I will take it,she said all of it? I said yes please and her responce was oh good now I don't have to roll it, and I said and now I don't have to unroll it. One more thing, will you bring back the canvess bags next time your in the area. Yes I will and maybe I could pick up some more. Anytime she said.
Hefting twelve bags back into the house here in Minn when its 5 degrees out and minius 17 with the wind chill wasn't alot of fun, the old cookie duster was pretty iced up by the time I was done. Thats 180 ft. up hill both ways back and forth to the car!Ok, 90 ft. but the two to four foot snow drifts where the worst. Ok, forty ft. with a nice snow blown path.
Got out the sniper..ie frankensorter..ie axcent, and started thinking can I be all done by Sunday night? yes!!!!!
Twelve fifty dollar bags sorted: $196.50 copper, $1.50 Wheats, $5.26 Canadian copper, 9 dimes, 1 minn state fair rolled penny, 1train rolled penney, 1cu painted with daisy on it, 1 tired sorter with sore fingers but it's done with 33.8% copper.

I'm happy to just get the usual 19% or so down here. I sometimes wonder what I would do with 30%+ copper, sure would make stacking pennies up a lot faster. Umm, congrats on scoring what seems to be a great supply bank.
