    lets see...

    1 million cents equates to 20k rolls of cents. If you search 10 rolls a day it would take you about 5.5 years to getter done. OK, sure, I'll do it. Imagine what you might find.

    That was pretty cool, thanks for sharing.

    I am up to a box of cents a day now, but everyday would be too much like work and would soon be hated. Probably mostly newer coins though. Anyone seen it up close to see if they could locate even one wheatie? How are they keeping them from getting nasty?

    hfd12316-I don't do that everyday, just once or twice a week. OCD ya know. Girlfriend finally made me condense so I have about $100 worth of 1c to take back. Think I'll get a box of nickels.
    davidh-Wonder how much they would charge to go "swimming in #4 for 10 mins?

    In another thread I figured I have searched about 200,000 cents this year, 40 bags. Counting the bags I just flip, I imagine I have been thru about 500,000 this year. Serious.

    It's kind of sad, really. AJ could have gone to school, but didn't. AJ could have at least held down a minimum wage job, but couldn't.

    I can see AJ now - sitting on the curb with those torn paper sacks that he calls "bags", going through the few pennies he's found on the sidewalk today. He only has on one sock. His left eye is in a permanent squint from looking too much at weak strikes.

    Occasionally a passerby tosses him a quarter or dime. But he tosses it back angrily, muttering something about "where's my copper...."

    500,000 or 50, we don't care AJ. We'll still let you post as much as you want.

    I don't mind coin searching in small bites. Beyond that it become work, not pleasure. I'd rather just buy the coin I want than to search for something I don't even need.
