Very nice story

It definitely pays to look through your change right away.

Great find. I guess that serves to show the state of the economy.
Iv,e read that during the great depression a lot of the (then scarce)1909s VDBs turned up in circulation as people pillaged their coin collections.

I have had the same thing happen to me at a local convenience store last year. I noticed all the pennies in my change were wheaties, and asked the clerk if there were more. He had another 25 or 30 in the drawer, and another roll that was also mostly wheaties, which he happily traded out to me at face value. SCORE!!

Congrats on your wheaties.

Great find - I got two wheaties in change this morning but was too far gone before I realized I should have gone back for more.

i work at a supermarket, one time i was opening a new roll and it was all wheaties. of course this was the day that i didnt have any money on me to swap out for the change, so i had to just leave it all there
i do bring a bunch of extra change with me though and find at least one wheat every couple days. still no silver though
