So where are all the Silver Santa stories I like reading about? Last week I shared my Silver Santa story with you. I figured that would be it for me for a couple of years.. but guess what? Today I stopped off at the same bank to pay my mortgage and maybe pick up a few coins. I have to admit to making a rookie mistake. They had $100 in dimes and $20 in pennies for me. I only had $85 on me after paying the mortgage.. so like a true penny hoarder.. and a guy not expecting lightning to strike twice.. I bought the $20 in pennies and only $65 in dimes. The bank was open for another hour, but I didn't feel like going over to the other bank's ATM and pulling out more money to buy the rest of the dimes.
So this evening I open up the dime rolls and 5 of the 13 rolls are solid silver! Another visit from the Silver Santa! Now I know I have been good, but I never expected this. Now I have to make arrangements to have someone pick up those other 7 rolls of dimes. I can't believe I didn't go get money to buy the rest of those dimes, or pack enough with me in the first place.

If your percentages are low.. just sort more. If your percentages are high.. just sort more
