Got our hands dirty today!

Every five years or so, my wife and I empty our coin box, roll them up, and then swap them for currency at our bank, splitting the proceeds. This year's haul totaled $189.50, plus a '42-P wheat cent and a '44-P silver nickel, both of which I gave to the bank's teller explaining their significance.

• The coin box is from Korea, my wife's native country. She said it's specifically designed to hold coins.

I keep debating whether I want to do that endeavor also. We have a 5 gal jug that is at least 1/3 full. No pennies in that jug. Sacs, sba's, kennedys, qtrs, dimes and nickels. I had checked all coins over the years before going in. Lol Man, that's a lot of rolling. Lol

Always lift those glass jugs full of change from the bottom! I had about $400 in loose change in one, picked it up by the ring handle on top, the bottom then sheared cleanly off on a seam from the weight and dropped out, had shattered glass and change everywhere… ugh, lucky it didn’t break my foot!
