On several occasions when I get loose penny bags I will get a bag that looks more like dimes than pennies. Tonight was one of those nights. One bag had $16 in dimes and even one silver 1957 dime!
It still amazes me that the folks that bag these are so sloppy i.e. since the bag is clear and you obviously can see the dimes floating around.
My record so far is $26! However, I am sure I'll beat that one day.

Yep. Bags are the best by far. Tons of dimes plus some silver to boot. Congratulations.

Congratulations! Great score. 
I have a question. Are bags ONLY available from Credit Unions or are there banks that will sell bags as well?
Thanks!

| In my limited experience, banks in western kentucky occasionally hand out bags. Call around. |
