I found 39 steel pennies in one 50 dollar bag tonight!
I stopped by the Credit union to get pennies today. The teller says she has one bag and she was hoping I was going to stop by because there were some old cruddy rolls. I then opened 35 dollars of rolls with nothing exciting. Then I opened a roll with a couple of steel pennies. Then a few more, and more and more:) 39 Total! Probably 3 or 4 steels in 10 different rolls!

| I had gone quite a while without finding any as well. Then all of the sudden I found three a few days ago and found the motherload yesterday. Prior to that I had found more IH than steelies over the last 6 months. |

Great find. I guess people are cashing in their old penny jars. I was just as shocked when I pulled 15 out of 1 roll.
Maybe the signs of the time...people are having to cash in what they have to pay bills. |

| Nice haul! I'd never seen a steel penny until i found my first one yesterday. found a steel and a plastic in one day! it's like someone is planting these novelties to get me hooked. and this morning a 1930-s! |
metal is a claim on future human labour. let's all go get some while the getting is good, eh? |

I got one this week too. First one I have found in quite a while.  |
If your percentages are low.. just sort more. If your percentages are high.. just sort more.
Let me see if I understand this? If you cross the North Korean border illegally, you get 12 years hard labor; the Iranian border illegally you are detained indefinitely. If you cross the US border illegally, you get a driver’s license, a social security card, welfare, food stamps, free health care!
