Not a bad haul!

Funny how those Bahamas cents always make their way into rolls. I think I've found one in every box so far. They should put a stamp on the box saying "One Bahamas Cent In Every Box!!!"

I am not surprised with the Bahamas coins, since they are nearly the same composition as the US cents, but the copper plated steel of the French and German € .02 coins surprises me that they make it into rolls of coins I would believe somehow got coinstared.

I don't think I've come across any Euros in the boxes yet. From normal change at stores, yes.

I de-cented my bank, so now I am going to have to go to a couple of other of my banks and clean them out now.
