I found TWO war nickels on one shift

    I was at work and running low on nickels. I popped open a roll, and went through it like I always try to when I get a chance. I found a 1946 nickel, and kept searching. I found a 1943 nickel and thought "cool, another '40s nickel! Wait a minute..." and flipped over the nickel and saw the P mintmark. This was the first silver nickel that I've ever found in circulation. A bit later, the other drawer was running short of nickels so I popped open another roll and found another '46 nickel. I picked through the roll some more and found yet ANOTHER 1943-P nickel. Two 1943 and two 1946 nickels in two consecutive rolls. I have a few more war nickels that I bought off ebay and jingling them together makes a haunting, unique sound. I imagine it as I'm listening to the past.

    I find them on the ground at the shop quite a bit. I'm working on a third roll now.

    I get the jingling together. Nothing else in the world makes that sound.
