I went to the bank this morning to pick up the $100 in pennies that I had ordered. After arriving home, I opened the only box of the four that did not have the original Brinks security tape on it. I looked inside and to my amazement I find that all the rolls are paper wrapped and sorted by year. The years ranged from 1959-1976. As I started digging through the rolls I stumble across four rolls that have the word "Wheats" written on them. Out of shear excitement and adrenaline, I immediately ripped one of the rolls opened to find 50 wheaties staring back at me. I yelled for my wife and she came running thinking something bad had happened. As I started to look through the years, I noticed that most of these wheaties were teens and twenties with a few thirties mixed in. I have yet to open the other 3 rolls marked wheats. I was so excited that I just had to tell someone. I will now return to the pennies and update my findings later with pictures!

That has to be one of the best roll finds ever! I love it when that happens, only mine were marked by decade: 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s.
