I want to start doing multiple nickel boxes at a time, but I am doubting my ability to physically get more than two to my car at once. Multiple trips for sure.

This is sort of a old people's future in the world of coins. By that I mean as we get older we can carry less and less. So the thing to do is trade in all your coins for cash then deposit it in a bank. Now there will be lots more ocins for me out there.

Let me specify that that was all three at the same time. So carl, I wont be doing that just yet. LOL

And the first box of halves... a big fat hairy juicy ZERO. Not a thing of any real interest.

At least, no one is going to steal that lot, and run off with it, a great rate of knots.!
Try running 100 metres with that load in less than 20 seconds.

So, out of the halves, nothing major. A few I like but, that's it. The quarters, one silver plated Ohio and a clad proof Iowa. Now I get to carry the coins, now in only two boxes for easier handling, to the car, then into the bank. This is almost as good as going to the gym. LOL

And I returned with a box of dimes and a box of nickels. Much lighter. LOL

And I think the tellers at TD are tired of me. Hehehe

My two favourite hobbies (coins and weight lifting)! For CRH I use heavy plastic bags that are meant for $25 in pennies but they hold a lot more than that. They are easier to carry than boxes although more than 50lbs/hand starts cutting into the skin a bit.
