This looks like a duplicate post of the previous post you made.

Got a call from my dump bank teller.

"Some lady brought in a bunch of really old pennies. Do you want them?"

"Sure, what do they look like?"

"Well, a lot of them are magnetic and one has an Indian on it."

I got 125 steel cents and one 1866 Indian head.
She also said that the lady told her to throw away some foreign ones
that the counter would not accept.

She fished out of her trash can;

1 large 1916 Canadian George cent
1 Brittania Gulimus IIII 1831
1 1918 10 Pfennig
1 50 centimes 1931
1 1924 Canadian George V penny

I told her to tell the nice lady to bring in some more
next time she sees her.

I even got a nice zipper bag to cart it all home in.

I explained Gresham's Law to my economics classes this week (bad money chases good money out of circulation) and a couple of students were aware of the copper penny differences and had seen sales of bags of coppers on e-bay and sorted some too. I enjoy watching this thread and hope to post some results soon.

Although my percentage was about 18% for the month, I stacked over 1CTU and met my goal. I have my doubts if it will be reached in April.
