Best penny haul in years falls into my lap

[Immy]

I work for one of those govt entities where occasionally people show their displeasure by paying fines in large amounts of coinage. So far it hadn't happened to me, but that changed yesterday, to the tune of $166 in rolls of pennies ($70), nickels ($46) and dimes ($50).

Accounting had to make sure it was accurate (it was) and then the crew - who know I'm into coins - offered it to me. I've only just finished the pennies, but they were great, and it brought me back to my glory years searching penny slots.
