So today I picked up $250 worth of cents from a local bank. I make it through the first 2 boxes without issues... then on the 3rd....
I find a bunch of rolls marked "Post 82" on them. Great....
I cracked open some random samplings and found it to be true. Ugh... I got someone's dump box. I'm figuring out that most all of my bank boxes have some sort of markings on them, be it initials, dash marks with a sharpie marker or some other type of markings. The bank boxes with no markings at all are the most productive, and those produce all the wheats. Most of my marked boxes only produce copper cents (and no wheats), so I'm assuming that someone is only pulling out those. However, today made me rethink things a little. Apparently, someone else out here is hoarding too. I need to hurry up and get my Ryedale here.

Always a dreadful feeling...might be time to find a different honey hole for your pickups and use this as a dump bank too

Unfortunately, I'm in Okinawa, and my 'banks' are limited to what's on base. It's not like we have 20 branch banks within 10 miles. So beggars can't be choosers over here.

Hmmm? I seem to have misplaced a roll of pennies. I marked it "Post 82" just in case I lost it and to make sure it was easily identified. Has anyone seen it?

Yeah yeah yeah... laugh it up
That ruined a whole box for me, and I see this guy's mark on more of my boxes too. We'll see when I get to them. Could be lots more just like it."Paper money eventually returns to its intrinsic value - Zero" Voltaire
