March 7th finds:
I picked up a large haul of customer wrapped coins from the bank today.
The signs are promising; I think I see a silver quarter and a 12 sided nickel right off the bat!
Wish me luck…

March 9th coin roll hunting results:

I finished hunting all of the coins I brought home the other day.

Here’s what I found:

Two colour 2021 dimes
$5 in US coins
Some pure nickel 5c coins
A colour 2017 quarter
Some 1968 nickel alloy dimes
Two 1969 dimes
One 1952 dated nickel and one silver quarter dated 1938!

I was reluctant to take the rolls of quarters because they are usually a bust, but then silver shows up in them, so you never know…

The worst part of roll hunting is short rolls…There were 8 nickel rolls in this batch with 39 coins in them so I was down 40 cents.  😡

Enjoy!

March 10th finds:

I picked up a small load of coins today.  Banknotes have dried up at my banks recently.
There wasn’t much in these rolls except $1.75 in US coins, a 1992 Saskatchewan quarter, a nicer 1973 RCMP quarter and a nicer 1990 dime along with a colour 2021.

To add insult to injury, one of the quarter rolls was short one coin, so I was down 25 cents.   >:(

Enjoy!

March 15th:  March Break madness!  Part 2.

I went to a couple of banks on Wednesday and I managed to get some paper notes.
They are nothing special, but I’ll take any paper money I can get!

Enjoy!

March 15th:  March Break Main Branch Madness!

I went to the Main branch and the teller was kind enough to give me some paper notes.  Nothing special in the lot, but there was one CDF polymer $10 that of course was ripped and repaired with tape.  There were a lot of journey $20s in the mutilated pile…I wish I could afford to take them all!


Enjoy!

March 15th:  March Break madness! part 3:

I acquired this small lot of paper money via trade today.  Nothing special, but it was still nice to receive paper notes!


Enjoy!

March 17th finds:

Today, I picked up $100 in dimes and to my surprise, there were treasures inside!

Highlights include:

80 US cents
A colour 2021 dime
A 2012 dated ten cent coin from Barbados
A 5 pence coin from the UK dated 1991
And best of all, a badly mangled 1964 silver dime!

Mangled or not, free silver is always fun to find!

Enjoy!
