    Jeffe, Sac's are not being circulated as much as the mint wishes. So they will send you out coins periodically. Check out the US mints wedsite. They are always offering these kind of deals. They are free shipping, so it does not cost you anything over the face value of the Sac's. Its a pretty sweet deal. You pull out the best ones, then circulate the rest as needed.

    I'm going to assume that they have a stockpile of rolled 2001 Sacagaweas in the vault and they're offering them as part of the Direct Ship program. As soon as I get my rolls, I'll inform you guys if they are uncirculated or not. If they do turn out to be circulated 2001 coins, I'll retract my earlier assumption.

    Okay, but are these actually circulated? As in, the mint issued them, they circulated a bit, banks collected them and sent them back, and they came back to the mint? It just seems far-fetched -- I figured the mint was only in the business of producing and distributing, not re-distributing.

    I doubt they're circulated. Circulated coinage that sits unused goes to the fed branches.

    Two boxes of dimes, only one 1947 Canadian, my first George silver.

    After $190 worth of halves, and many banks looking at me weird, I managed to find one 1967 40%. I also tried $100 worth of dimes and nothing. I'll try again on payday.

    Correct me if I'm wrong (which I probably am :p) but I think Bluenose is the name of the ship on the reverse of the Canadian dime.

    I dump about (10) 40lb. bags of pennies and (10) $500.00 bags of halves each week and almost all of it goes through the commercial drive through. It's much easier than carrying them inside.

    I need some opinions. I recently bought a box of pennies in it I found almost 5 whole rolls of wheat pennies, besides wheat pennies, is there anything that I should look for or should I just take the rest to the bank?

    Indianhead pennies, and VOC pennies while searching for wheaties.

    I found a pretty sweet penny in a bank roll. At least, I think it's a penny...
