[QUOTE="FL_RacingGal, post: 331573, member: 7391"][b]Awesome Day For Me :) :)[/b] I had some time between stops today and stopped at a few banks and asked for half dollars. Most had none but I picked up a few stray ones here and there. I got (2) 40% halves from the loose $10.50 in the teller's racks. Then I stop at a Wachovia branch that I almost drove by but decided "Ah what the heck..might as well since I have 15 minutes to spare". The teller had $2 in halves so I bought them (all clad) and usually they will ask the other tellers if they have any halves but mine didn't.

She replies, "Yes, I have 13 rolls that someone brought in the other day" I say "I'll buy them" thinking here goes another $130 that will end up in my bank's free coin counting machine. I take my rolls, go to my car and start opening the rolls. The first roll got me excited because I found a Walking Liberty and a 40% JFK. EACH of the 13 rolls yielded keepers.
