Meanwhile back to the original post. I think the problem is the latest craze about short rolls. People everywhere have gone to leaving out one coin per roll of all coins they take to the banks or stores or wherever they spend them. Around me Bank of America has started a policy of when you bring in coins, any coins, they are put into a plastic bag, sent to an independant organization for counting. The REAL amount is entered into your account, minus a charge for this service. NO ACCOUNT? No problem. Just a higher cost and you wait until your notified of the results. OH, one more thing is the notification is also deducted from your amount.
As to the age old PENNY discussion. This has been on Coin Talk before. Songs such as:
Pennies From Heaven, Penny Lover, Penny on the Floor, Penny Serenade and many others. And for the older people remember Giddy Up 409? In that song it says "Well I saved my Pennies and I saved my Dimes"
I've said this before too. We have 5 Bucks, a Saw buck, a Fin, Two Bits, a Ten spot, C-note, Nickels and anything else we want to call our money. This is America and not England. We do not speak English, we speak American. (Except in some neighborhoods lately)
At one time our parents said not to say AIN'T. Now it's in the dictionary. This is America. Get used to it.
