Whenever I find a wheatie, a pre-1960 nickel or a similarly interesting coin in my change, I place it into a special container. After about a year or so, I'll account for all of these coins and place them into coin tubes or other holder in my main collection box. (Note: None of these coins came from bank rolls; they are strictly from what was handed to me from a cash register when I made a purchase somewhere.)
Here is my latest haul. Lesson to be learned: good, collectible coins are still out there!
(Note: sorry that the photos aren't of better quality.)
