This might sound silly, but just wanted to say that if/when I see a penny on the ground, as others walk by & ignore it, I will pick it up and take it home....

My biggest personal regret is I managed to get one year for every small cent except 1966, but I guess I will have to break down and buy the last year on ebay. Unlikely to get much, if any more penny change. My other regret is I am horrified at the thought of all those pennies getting melted down--so many probably rare ones among them.

I got lucky and was able to get 12 boxes ($300) from the bank today. A quick check shows that most of them are hand-rolled. I'm looking forward to many months, and possibly years, of roll hunting for dates and varieties. I don't think I'll find much, but I did manage to find a 2006 no p no logo magnetic in very nice condition a while back. Maybe one or two more of those will be in my many boxes (actually, I have about 18 other boxes of pennies too).

I went to the bank next to my gym, and got 2 CWR boxes, quite satisfied. After looking through them, i'll be dumping them at another branch

Have any banks refused your request for boxes of cents yet?

When you get to 50 posts send me a message with your address (and remind me that you are looking for a 1966). I'm pretty sure that I have at least 1 extra in AU condition, that I would be happy to send to you for free.
