Always nice to find these - not sure of the pickle jar story - that's where you keep your pocket change? You should build a date set of clips for modern coins, quite fun and addicting.
Correct, only pocket change goes in my 1 gallon pickle jar. I usually accumulate for a month and then spend a night looking for errors. By the way, I put that up on ebay last night for $10.00 and sold it by this morning. I would have started a type set of these but I'm winnowing my collection down to only my complete series and doing upgrading by selling the coins that no longer apply to my interests. Nice idea though.
