As odd as this sounds, I got to know who's getting what, and what you're seeing.
I had an unbelievable box today.
80 Wheaties in it, and one roll had 20%. My new personal bests.

What's in it for the dude? |

I'm averaging about .5% wheaties from my local bank.
80 wheats in a box is awesome! I wonder if a small collection of wheats got cashed in. |

Conga rats on your score, NoCents My personal best is only three wheaties in a roll... but I usually machine sort so have no way of knowing if I've done better. Usually hit about 21 to 25 wheaties per box out here in California  |
Hoard now and hold on!

| This will tell the scale I sort on... but... I don't calculate my wheaties per box or bag. Cause I usually don't get that much at a time. Anyway, to answer the question, I get a wheatie about every four rolls. |

I usually don't keep track of this, but did recently.
Searched ~$1100 - mostly from bags found in small town rural midwestern banks (90%) and the remaining 10% being string boxes...
Found ~275 wheats |

| The dates run very consistant considering how different the wheats run in percentages. High in the 50's and 40's, then it starts to drop fast after that. |
