I order one $1,000 bag of halves a week, but they were unable to get me one for two weeks until today.  Since I can't lift these bags, I have the  teller take it back to one of the safety deposit rooms where I split it into two and put it in a wheeled tote.  I open the bag and start transferring the coins.  What is this?  There is an Eisenhower dollar, then another, and another.  Wait, was is this?   The gold-colored dollar coin, and another, and another.   hello

I am about 1/4 of the way through this bag and so far I have 18 Eisenhower dollars and 18 of the gold-colored ones, and 10 40% halves.

I'll give  you an update when I make it through.  Looks to be a very nice haul today.   hello2

Do you count the halves to see if you're coming out ahead?  I'm curious what the total is.  Weird!

I  don't usually count the exact figure.  I break the dumps into either $150 or $200 bags for the various credit union machines I use, sometimes I take a few for spending.

This time I am definitely counting all the coins.  Even if they counted the dollars as a half, I would be ahead.

First pass through the bag:
19 Eisenhower dollars
25 small gold-colored dollars
36 40% halves
