Penny dilema in the US...your thoughts please?

Roller, I will try that. Just came back from buying a loupe and $14 more in pennies. I can fit almost 3 bricks into a medium flat rate box for $45 us to ship home.
So I am leaning towards keeping that box anyways, regardless.

How true!
I take it for granted sometimes how easy it is to just walk into a bank and receive a couple of bricks.
Lara's problem of not being able to get Lincoln Cents will eventually be the same for us as we move towards eliminating it from US coinage. Hate to type those words, but it will happen one day.
As sure as all good things must come to an end

So very true!

I hear from everone when I ask for a couple of rolls....what are you going to do when they stop making pennies? I just shrug and say...we will see when it happens. In the meantime I will take whatever I can take off your hands please?

I am now 5 rolls short of 2 bricks and I have 5 more days. Come hell or high water, I take as much as I can home!

Whatever you do, don't try swallowing them to avoid customs

That is pretty good... At least you aren't 52 cards short of a full deck like I am

Ha ha ha.

Thank you for the tip Roger! I will also make sure that I declare that I am bringing "less than $10000.00" US over the border ;)
