Dumped $60 in pennies and won $25

Postby Tourney64 » Mon May 09, 2011 7:31 pm

I dumped $60 of Lincoln cents at my dump credit union at noon today. The teller told me that so far I am winning the contest....I say "What contest?" he says didn't you see the sign on the door...we are giving away $25 to whoever deposits the most $$$$ in our coin machine today. I went back to the branch 4 hrs later to dump $120 in dimes I picked up at my source bank and sorted thru during my lunch hour, but the lobby had already closed. Found out I still won the $25. I wish it was a weekly contest.

Congrats.. sounds like a fun contest! You must have caught them all sleeping. It takes 4 figures to win a contest like that at my CU. I won the last one with a little over $2k.. paid $75.. that's 3 boxes of pennies!

Keep and eye out.. when they run one of these contests they often run it again in a few months. :mrgreen:
If your percentages are low.. just sort more. If your percentages are high.. just sort more
