Scott....with so many pennies "rejected", where re you able to take them to when you are done? Even if they have a coin sorter, you are now talking about slightly less than 100000 pennies returned. I would think that they would dread seeing you walk through the door after awhile.

webs, I spread out where I return coins to. I have 3 different branches of the same bank that I return coins to. I can get away with two $50 deposit bags a week at each one if I want to, so I can go through up to $300 a week.

All right, so I was finally able to get a good quantity of unsearched pennies. $65 total, and a weird batch at that. I found a total of 30 wheats, which is well above my normal average, but 9 or 10 of those all came from a single roll which was all 50's and 60's pennies. Happy nonetheless to finally get some more coins searched. Stay tuned!
