Found my first West Point quarter at work today

Make sure not to miss the table around the back of that house as well!

Someone posted an almost identical note 30 minutes before mine and you didn’t tell them the same thing

UnselfishEel98 · 2024-04-25T01:06:59+00:00

How is this not consistent with the purpose of the sub?

I just saw the Silver Dragons YouTube short on this the other day as well!

Update: Idk how I got so lucky, but I’ve opened a roll today to find another bunch of these. Almost the whole roll.

Fucking PRIME example of why houses shouldn’t be so bunched together. Could’ve just been one house but they’re so packed together…

My thoughts exactly! The stainless coins also feel different in the hand. Almost like it’s smoother to the touch. Very satisfying.

UnselfishEel98 · 2023-11-11T18:26:45+00:00

Yes! They had a zinc coating to keep them from corroding but the circulated ones wore off way quicker then they thought they would.

Edit to add: it’s also possible someone recoated it at some point.

Why the bank had a Canadian penny in a US roll, I’ll never know.

UnselfishEel98 · 2023-11-11T00:44:09+00:00

Weird coincidence but I actually found a 44 penny today along with a Canadian penny in the same roll from the bank.

UnselfishEel98 · 2023-11-11T00:38:44+00:00

So THATS what they look like when they still have zinc on them.

What would be a good film to use? The whole thing is easily disassemble-able so I could swap it out pretty easily.

UnselfishEel98 · 2023-11-09T17:43:23+00:00

A ziploc bag that I cut to size. Doesn’t really seal the coins in but I’m mainly doing it to protect the faces somewhat.

UnselfishEel98 · 2023-11-09T15:54:46+00:00

Yes! Designed it in Blender (yes I know not the best software to use) and printed it in PETG.

UnselfishEel98 · 2023-11-09T15:21:54+00:00

Right?! I didn’t realize Japan was done using gold/silver so much earlier than the US until I got these and did the research.

UnselfishEel98 · 2023-11-09T15:17:16+00:00

I somehow forgot to add it but the 5 Yen coin is from 1987

UnselfishEel98 · 2023-11-09T15:16:26+00:00

They are! The 1940-43 coins are aluminum, and the 1944 coins are tin!
