Found a paper penny in a roll.

If a kid did it I would find it to be somewhat excusable.

For an adult to do it is worse than slipping a penny into the center of a dime roll. At least you got
a real penny.

People in this country, like the money supply, is quickly losing all integrity.

Sweden 50 ore - '02
Japan 10 yen (need a photo to know the date as the Japanese use a regnal date, it will show a certain number of years since the emperor was crowned) new coin. still very shiney.
Japanese 1 - need a photo to figure this one out. the gent looks like a buddist monk, ie bald, in a robe.

yes, i wish i had a camera or scanner for these odd foreign coins. as it is hard to describe them

Very possible if your dump bank uses the same service guys as your source bank. From what I hear, banks order lots of pennies for their commericial customers.

[cwgii]

actually this would have been in a roll of cwr that they did not give me, but got sent to their 'service' . as all my dumps go to the 4 branches of the one place that still has a free counter. when that one ends. i will be done with pennies.
