I bought my first bag of halves yesterday from my bank's counting machine. The contents surprised me, not from the silver content, but from the unrelated items in the bag. The bag contained $997.50 in clad halves, and $1.00 in 40% halves.
But, in addition to the halves, the bag contained the following US coins, totalling $10.23:
1- Sacajawea Dollar
30- quarters
6- Dimes
7- Nickels
18- Pennies
In addition to the US coinage, the bag had a Canadian penny, a coin from Israel with a "5" on it, and a single edge razor blade.
Fortunately, I saw the razor blade before sticking my hand in the bag!
I am curious about whether such strange contents are rare, or if this bag was within the norm.
