I had to go to my regular bank anyway. I made my deposit and almost as an after thought asked the teller if she had any halves. They had $410 worth so I got them. There were 11 40% er's there.

I drove 1/2 mile and dumped the rest into their machine. Smooth! I also had to go to that bank so gas spent on this $0.

I would have thought with that many halves it would have just been someone dumping rolled halves and you'd get skunked. Unusual that someone would organically have that large a quantity. The halves must have come from two sources : one with a LOT of halves (dumper) and one with a roll or two where you pulled the 11 40%ers.

I asked the teller, and apparently one older person gave them all of them. Right place at the right time. They were happy to get rid of them. Bankers also hate the dollar coins. IMG_0869.JPG

I love the large amounts. Can't have a big score without a big amount to search.

Yup, paid for the gas this time. And for several other trips.
