Opened a new account and picked up a box of pennies while I was there. Two customer wrapped rolls in the box were skunks, but the shrink-wrap rolls (Brinks?) produced a handful of Canadians (mostly newish), six dimes (clad), a Bahamanian penny and 17 wheats.

If any of you are wondering where your shorted dimes are from Brinks rolls, looks like they're in with my pennies.

It's roughly what I expected given the number I've been finding in change. If it keeps up, I'll do lots more pennies. It's not big bucks, but it's so little in sunk cost and a lot of fun. I'm looking forward to dimes too; I think I've gotten one silver for every 5-6 rolls from my change jar, so if that holds up with rolls from the bank, I should get consistent results.

I just started hitting the dimes, and been doing good just not much time to post my finds.
My wheat finds have went down to about 4 to a box hope it picks up.

Wish you luck :thumbsup:

good finds, wheats are plentiful for me, dimes dont seem to be as hot on the west coast as they are for CnC and sean out east.

I'm gonna be in Jersey for work in July. Gonna pre-order a crapton if i can find some branches out there lol.

HEY! THOSE WERE MY DIMES!! GIVE EM BACK!!! hah :hello:

Nice finds on the wheats! 17 is above average for my area, I too get brinks boxed coins. I average 12-15 wheats per box. Never really get dimes in penny boxes, Havent gotten one in a penny roll in the last 10 penny boxes for sure, most likely 15+. My brinks dime boxes are always short whether it be $0.70 or $2.70, they are always short... But a little shortage here and there for as little as I search dimes, it won't hurt my wallet too bad.
