Nice variety. The Romanian coin is my favorite. Posts like this make me think about starting Pennies. Maybe I'll try it next week...Brad

Pennies are fun to check, at least NO SKUNKS. However, I take that back, several weeks ago, two weeks in a row, I picked up 30 rolls (CWR's) each week and they were all skunks, not even coppers.

I just got a skunk on a Loomis box. No wheats, no Canadian, only 35 copper. It was still fun, but man, what a disappointment. To top it off, I took the turn into my bank a little too fast and the box dumped in my front seat and down the passenger side door... Needless to say, I only dumped $21.50 in pennies that day.
