I'm claiming the most dimes found in a penny bag record. A whopping 49 of them in a $50.00 bag of pennies today. It's always nice to get $4.90 for $0.49 :)

And here I was thinking 2 dimes in a box of pennies was good. |

Rich is not owing any money to anybody, and not spending what you haven't got." Robert Ruark

| I like dimes in my bags of pennies. Today I had a bag that had a little bit of everything. It had 3 dimes, 3 nickels, and a quarter. Last week I had a bag that had a dollar coin in it. |

I'm doubling the current record. I got 2 solid rolls of dimes in penny rolls! At first I thought I got short rolled.. then I thought, hey those are about the length of dime rolls.. and whoohoo! No silver though.. but does that matter at the current price of silver?  |

| I almost have enough to fill a roll from hand sorting. No big scores like 49 in a roll or anything like that but still lookin good. By the way Scooter where in Fla. are you? I'm in Jacksonville. I only ask cause I don't want to cut into your numbers either. |

I wish I could get some cloth bags. They do not appear to be an option around here.
