I heard this story on the radio tonight.
Apparently a man that collected cents for 40 years cashed them all in at a bank.
It took him about a week going back and forth to the bank to cash them all in.
What do yall think of that huh?

Wonder how many gems he rolled and got one-cent for.
McDonalds was also giving out free food (you call MacDonalds food?) in return for rolled cents.
On 2nd thought, I probably won't be around in 2042.

Still dumber than a sack of hammers to cash in all those cents AT FACE when you and I KNOW he was BOUND to have had more than a few sought-after errors and varieties in there.
Maybe he DID pluck those out first. Not sure.
you may find it fun, but he probably did not think it would be fun to go through 100x10,000 (100 pennies per dollar and you said $10,000 worth, right?)=1,000,000 pennies.
How long do you think that would take? And, if he didn't know the errors/varieties, etc, then, he would have to learn them and have an eye for them.
Again, it looks like a MILLION cents.....how long do you think it would take to look at them all? how many each day? how many hours until you would go blind/cross-eyed?
Now, I get rolls at the bank and go through them, but I don't do more than 5-10 rolls per week. I am boggled by trying to imagine how many this dude would have had....wow!

I'm curious Bochiman, do you get new rolls or circulated ones and what are some good finds you've had? I'd like to do it myself, but I don't enough yet about the varieties/errors for it to even be worthwhile.
I would sometimes find a Wheat cent. Back then, I could care less about varieties. I also pulled out all the copper cents and sent back the zincers. I still have them, too. All rolled up somewhere around here.
so there is a Idea for you that have young collectors buy coins for your trip and let them seacrh

Not to mention the shock-absorber wear on the car.

I have gotten wheaties, an older (194x) canadian penny, and completed my 1959-present (minus the 2003-p). The 1982s still bother me, and I don't know if I have all 7 of them or not...I think I do, but going from copper/zinc and lrg/sm has me spinning on those...I don't have a small scale to weigh them, and they are all circ, so I am not sure).
So, I get them now to upgrade a few, and see if I can spot anything major.
In regards to your question about new/old rolls....I get whatever. I have used bank of america and the rolls they give me vary. I have gotten a couple of 2003-D rolls (all BU) and some that were 99% BU 2003-D and 1 older coin. I also get bankrolled, and customer rolled, older coins to go through.
