I've been stopping by banks all over town looking for one that will sell me halves. Finally found one that would put my name on a list of people they call with the half bag fills up. "Actually, you're in luck. It just filled up and we haven't called anyone from our list yet. Want the bag?"

YES.

The bag contained 991 clads, plus
1964
1967 x 2
1968
Italian 500L with ships on the back. silver!
1 ECO vacuum token
1984 Bermuda 50 cents
3 US quarters, clad
1 US dime, clad
1996 Canadian 2 dollar
1994 French 5 franc
band aid, gross!
1 extremely mangled piece of metal I'm guessing was a quarter at one point, but would never spend now

Well, now I'm hooked on halves too I guess.

Very nice!

I love the mix of other stuff in there. A vacuum token? That has to be a first.
