Ogunquit Trolley

Last night things went better than the night before. Henry slept almost the whole night. We both felt much better this morning. Let's hope this marks his return to his sleeping ways. Perhaps he knew he needed the rest for his big 4 month checkup today?

I did a lot of coin searching last night and this morning. Bank #2 had accumulated a lot of coin brought in by customers over the past two weeks.

I searched 150 small dollars and found two mint set dollars (2003D, 2004D). That felt great. Two album fillers in one night from such a small number of coins is terrific. Here's an updated Sacagawea chart. I'm getting there!

I also looked through 7,200 quarters. These yielded seven Canadians, one Cayman Islands 25¢, two Princess Cruises tokens, and one Ogunquit Trolley token. I'm not sure how much the trolley token is worth, but on the back it says "Good for fifty cents in trade." Ogunquit is a small coastal town in southern Maine. My folks go there quite a bit. A trolley ride costs $1.50 and trolley drivers only give these tokens in change.



1,500 dimes produced only three Canadians and one UK 5 pence.

Lastly, 4,100 pennies turned up fourteen Wheats, twenty-nine Canadians, three US dimes, one MBTA token (still good for a ride and so worth $2.00!), and one Euro 2¢ (France). The Wheats were:

1944, 1947, 1948(2), 1951D, 1952D(3), 1953D, 1956, 1956D(2), 1957D(2)



Found: 2 pennies (1 at McDonald's, 1 on the street, near our house), 1 dime (at Sovereign Bank)
