You should have yelled to the lady giving you the stink eye, "AM I NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOUR PENNIES,HUH?"  What a great lesson on Persistence!! If you don't get them the first time keep asking. Edited by Mr Click

Good job Frodo! I hope you find some nice Wheats in there! I like toned Pennies too! You're lucky, we can't get Pennies up here in Canada anymore.

WAIT... you just traded in a few pieces of paper for a few thousand pieces of copper... there was no purchase... it is an exchange The next time you go in, go to the STINK EYE'd lady and ask for 2 boxes of pennies... if she says they don't have any say sorry and go to the back of the line then get a different teller and ask again then GLARE at her while the other teller is in the vault  |

pennies are fun to crh, but once you get a fresh box and tear it up, then the problem starts the addiction, must get more boxes like a zombie ,,enjoy

@Frodo I remember when I started click clacking for the first time. I looked at everything. Saved everything. Then I realized I'm going to only keep the Best of the Best. I keep about 35 -50 coins out of a full box of pennies. I have to now. I go through about 10 boxes of pennies a week. Tell me in 6 months if you don't start doing the same! Click |

I've gotten to the point where I only save the good looking copper, if it's ugly it's not worth it. Take the nasty ones back in hopes of finding Wheaties |
