So, in my chemistry class today we were doing experiments on coins, particularly pennies and nickels, (by experimenting I mean measuring them and weighing them). The teacher told us to go get 10 of each denomination from her bags. I get the pennies and I see 4 or 5 wheats looking at me. You guys have no clue how tempted I was to take these coins. I looked at the dates and they were common dates. I didn't take them. I guess that's a drawback from coin roll hunting that I have to look at every coin I come in contact with and have it.

I would NOT have done it either. No coin is worth the title of "thief" hanging over your head.

If people keep making decisions like that they will be worth something someday, I would of done what ever I could to get those wheat pennies and I hope they didn't get damaged or experimented on or anything.
