Moms' Night
Last night Meg finally got a chance to go out in the evening with her mom friends. I think they had a good time. Henry and I survived quite well on our own. We only had thirty minutes together, however, as he went to bed pretty soon after Meg left.
In Meg's absence I searched some coin and it went much better than the previous two nights.
123 small dollars and eight half dollars produced two 40% silver halves (2 x 1968D).
I also searched 960 quarters and found one silver Washington (1958D), four Canadians, one US nickel, one UK 10 pence, one French 10 Franc (worth €1.52*), two French 20 centimes (worth €.03*) and one Japanese 10 Yen (worth 10¢). Most of the foreign coins were all in one roll. It was great to get one new silver quarter and all of those odd foreign coins. The Japanese coin is the first coin I've found from that country in a roll. 
I did pretty well with the dimes too. 2,150 dimes yielded three silver Rosies (1951, 1962D, 1963D), three Canadians, one Bermuda 10¢, one Italian 100 Lire (worth €.05*) and one Spanish 5 Ptas (worth €.03*). 
In 680 nickels I found one War Time nickel (1943P).
I also searched 2,450 pennies and in them found twelve Wheats and twenty-six Canadians. The Wheats were:
19XX, 1928, 1940(2), 1945, 1946D, 1948, 1950, 1953D, 1955D, 1958, 1958D
* Most pre-Euro coins can no longer be exchanged for Euros.

I see you've switched to the inline comments too. I like this so much better myself.
I've always thought it important to make sure the mother gets a break now and then from things. I'm sure it all helps avoid post-natal depression etc.
That last coin has to be my pick for this post. Looks like it'd still be "in vogue" 100 years from now.
(Wonder if we'll still be even using money then, as we know it?)
