Searching Through 1 Million Pennies. What Do You Guys Think I Will Find?

I seem to have made a few errors with my counting per decade, as the numbers by decade do not add up to the total. I am going to recount the coins and will get back to you with an update.

Alright, so I apologize for the confusion in advance. Included in this entry is the $20 in pennies I just went through after returning to the west coast, in which I found 1 1920's penny and 2 1950's pennies. I also found 2 canadians, both post-1964. These are included in the total count I just did. Anyways, here are the totals verified after the count I just did.

My thanksgiving break doesn't end until tomorrow, so I thought I'd take advantage of it by doing some hunting! After a $110 penny marathon, I have the results below. A little disappointed by the quantity of wheats, but that is to be expected when hunting on the west coast!

I am returning coins to the same bank, but you have to understand the banking system. Millions of coins are shipped to brinks for packaging into boxes and rolls. The $50 or $100 I return makes up .0001% of what brinks packages and sends back. It makes no difference.

So what you might have missed is that I am returning coins in deposit bags. This means that the bags I return are shipped to a brinks facility to be repackaged and distributed. Thus I never get the same coins again. Also, all the coins I search, with a few exceptions, are not customer wrapped. This means that no one, I repeat no one, has gone through them.

That is also an option...

I was able to pick up $25 in pennies and wasn't incredibly happy with the results, but okay with the 6 wheats I found. Christmas break is on the horizon, so expect $200 to $300 a week during that time.
