I stopped by the old bank in town again yesterday, and bought 10 rolls.
I found a 67 and a 68....thats it.

I took them back to the same bank and run them through the coin counting machine.
I wonder if they are tired of this yet. I'm sure they are hip to what I'm doing. I don't have an account there, so they charge me a 3% fee when using the coin counter...I guess as long as I am willing to pay the fee, they're willing to take it from me.

Picked up $120 today in customer-wrapped. Thought I was going to score some silver this time, but only got 1 40%. I still need 15 more to get to 100 40% for the year. Running out of time!

Sorry I've been gone for a while....getting ready for next semester and all that....but I'm pleased to report that we got $34 worth of halves from a bank in a nearby city today and......Every single coin was a Franklin!! I'm not that big of a fan of Franklins myself, but my girlfriend digs em, so I guess we're going to be starting a set! It was probably our greatest roll-hunting find to date!! Roll hunting has been very kind to us!

Sixty Eight Franklins in one hit, and your not a fan? I'll give you a buck a piece, and ease your pain if you like.

Nice Find!

went to 2 different banks today looking for rolls of !/2s and dollars
both had no 1/2's but I went to buy a pack of cigs and the guy in front of me spent six 1/2's and five were 1964 and one was 1967 needless to say I bought them from the teller
