I was picking up a box of pennies at the bank and the teller said: "Are you looking for wheat pennies?, I have some rolls of them if you want."

Yes I do! Just shy of 3 rolls. Here's the results and some pics:

I miss my wheat cents. I had over $50 of them when my home was burglarized in the 90's. At least all my other coins were in the safe deposit box then. I wonder how may memorial cents I had in the two #10 coffee cans that disappeared then too.

Why would it matter if you are from the west coast or not?
