Recently, I stopped at a local bank and asked them to buy pennies. The teller only had $14 worth. I was kind of excited because the rolls appeared old (they were those bright pink rolls and were a little tattered)

I was kind of excited at 1st. Thinking I was going to hit the motherload of wheat pennies. However, in all of those rolls I only found 1 wheat penny. However, some of the rolls were 1/2 pre-1982. By the time I re-rolled the pennies, I had roughly $9 re-rolled meaning I had roughly $5 in pre-1982.

That means 35.7% of those pennies were copper; guess not too bad all things considered.

Don't you think that was a pretty good %? I had to claim a minor victory although I didn't find many wheats

Ditto. That's great! Only 20% where I'm at as well
The first panacea for a mismanaged nation is inflation of the currency; second is war. Both bring a temporary (and false) prosperity; both bring a permanent ruin. But both are the refuge of political and economic opportunities.

I had a really awesome weekend. I went into a branch I do not typically go into. I bought $50 face value.

I must have gotten some older person's change. I found one solid roll of BU 1963 pennies. 7 other rolls of solid copper pennies. One roll had 12 wheat pennies. Found 37 wheat pennies total. Also had 4 foreign coins - 1 Mexican 20 centavo, 1 British New Penny, 2 Pfenning German coin, and a Czech coin i think a 5 cent equivalent; also found 2 dimes (non-silver).
