Well, I hit the credit union again on the way home tonight (this is getting to be a habit!) and got 10 rolls of pennies and 2 rolls of quarters. First the bad news - struck out on the quarters (no big surprise).
Now, the good news - the first roll of pennies I opened had a dime in it. Then a second roll also, another dime (both clads).
In addition to the dimes:
Wheaties: 3 (1945, 1950, 1950D)
Canadian pennies: 11, dated 1947, 1963, 1964, 1975, 1981, 1987, 1993, 2000, 2001, 2004, and an apparently centennial commemorative penny, dated 1867-1967 with a dove on the reverse in place of the customary maple leaf.
Two of the pennies (1987, 1993) are not round, but have a dodecahedral rim (12 discrete faces). Does anyone know why that is? Also, can anyone tell me about the commemorative penny?
Copper pennies (1959-1981): 125
And the hunt goes on...
