    Well my dad being the old guy he is still uses cash a lot for his day to day activates. When he gets home he tosses his wallet keys and change on this one corner of the kitchen counter. Well when dish he puts the coins in gets full my mom dumps it into a Deli Cat food jug and now X number of years later there where 2 of them about half full. So when I went over for fathers day I dug thought my old closet and I found them and asked if I could dig thought them. Well I got to tote about 15 or 20 pounds of coins home.

    Well I gave them a once over sort just separating the demonations I found a few interesting coins including but not limited to
    1 1919 Canada 10 cent
    1 1959 US quarter
    1 1963 US dime
    1 2001 bahama 1 cent (not rare but very cute)
    2 25 Canada 25 cent
    4 laser tag baton rouge tokens

    My wife just got a Nikon D40 so here are a few pics.
    Now that I got them separated I need to look up what may be the keepers or what dates have interesting variations before I really sort thought them.
