Just A Bit

At a bank yesterday I got a nice surprise. A teller gave me an envelope of foreign coins, mostly Canadian. The envelope had in it fourteen Canadians, four Canadian nickels (2 Ni), four Canadian dimes, one Canadian quarter, one UK 5 pence, one Ecuador 10¢ and Bermuda 10¢. Last night I did just a little coin searching.

1,960 quarters produced just one Canadian and two US nickels.

The dimes were better. 4,000 coins yielded two silver Rosies (1964, 1964D), seventeen Canadians, one UK 5 pence and one US penny.

The nickels were pretty good. I searched 1,200 coins and found one War Time (1943P), one Canadian (1 Ni), one Bermuda 5¢ and one Euro 5¢ (Italy). The Euro 5¢ is the first one I've found from Italy in a roll.



The pennies I searched stunk. 5,000 of them produced just six Wheats and forty-three Canadians. The Wheats were:

1941(2), 1942(2), 1945, 1953

Found: 2 pennies (1 at Burger King, 1 at work)
