Got a solid roll of wheats with out trying!

In the summer I work six days a week and we are moving so not much time to take my son Franklin to the bank to get coins to sort. So today at work I opened a roll of cents for the till and they were all wheats. Glad that is was close to lunch so I could buy some replacements at the bank for the till. :D

Nice catch. I thought I was doing good when the auto parts guy handed me three wheats in my change.

Man always reminds me of a time when I was 14/15 when I hear solid wheat rolls at the bank :) My grandmother knew I saved all the change I could get my hands on and I would make a deposit in a savings account once a year, she also knew I collected coins. Well for my birthday she gave me 20 rolls of pennies and I was like man she usually gives me a 20.00 bill oh well guess 10.00 will do. Years later she asked if I enjoyed the 10.00 in wheat pennies she gave me one year and was there anything good in there whoa... my stomach felt sick as they were long gone to the bank already...
