That's so awesome! I can't even imagine the look on the cashier's face as you handed over the box of coins.
I get confused looks from cashiers whenever I pay for something with Half Dollars...this must have been completely baffling to the clerk!

Dropped another $400 in dollar coins on Sears, Roebuck, & Co on the way home.

I still have $426 to drop on them but will have to resort to halves as I only have $150 in dollar coins left.

$41,101.50 to go

No box. Just a big Zip Lock bag.

I made the mistake of rerolling halves and paying my Home Depot bill and I ended up getting a sealed box from Loomis and it was $500 in rewrapped rolls which were the same ones I dumped on Home Depot so from then on it's always loose.
