Silver and Wheaties

[Mercury63]

Switched off the nickels and dimes and picked up a box of quarters and a box of pennies this morning with modest results:


1952 p Quarter
12 Wheaties - earliest 1929, no S mint marks

By the way, try carrying a box of quarters 1/2 mile - pretty heavy. That's the disadvantage of living in a large city without a car - but oh how nice it is to have a different bank every couple of blocks !

I once hauled a box of halves, which is the same weight as a box of quarters over half a mile. It's a bit annoying, yes, but I needed a good workout.

I carried 2 canvas bags 1 with $200 in loose nickels and in the othe bag it was $50 in loose pennies for a block. I thought I was gonna die. LOL I just kept going because it wasn't like I could put 1 bag down and come back for it later.

I've ridden my bike to work (about 3.5 miles) with $750 in halves in a backpack so I could drop them off at the bank later that day. I've done this a few times, but it's not fun.

I hate humping $1000 in halves into a dump bank only to find the machine is out of order.
Did that twice yesterday. :P

been there, done that. several times i have walked into a bank with four bags of $500.00 in halves each...only to see the dreaded "out of order" sign taped to the machine. nothing to do but head for dump bank number two. UGH!

ya gotta love what you do to do what you love.
