    How have you managed to cope?

    They don't get much more full or come with a better strike than that.

    The drums were made of wood and metal rods with skin for the heads. If it got damp, it would be expected to mildew, mold or rot. ;)

    Also how in the world could someone flag this post. This is completely relevant with U.S. coins. I have to assume they are just miserable people.
