It's almost like someone loaded up their pockets of the coin star rejects and then proceeded to lose it all. Nice save!

I think someone took a coin collection to school for show and tell, and lost it ! Congrats on all of your finds.

How does that happen?? I found like 11 coins in a spill and thought I hit the motherload. All pennies from 2000 up, just my luck.
