Nickels & Dimes Galore!

The company I work for has an Honor System when it comes to paying for coffee. Everyone is supposed to pay $0.30 per cup of coffee. You can pay for a whole week in advance. Some people even drop a $20 in the bin every week.

There's always some joker who put in foreign coins in the bin. Recently I checked with the coffee money collector to see if he's got any Canadian Nickels. Whaddaya know, he handed me a 2 and a half pound sack of foreign coins!

They're all 'bank rejects' as the counting machine would not accept them. He can't do anything with them so he gave me the whole sack. Our agreement was a simple one. Any coins that I would like to keep, I can buy from him at a discount. The rest I can just bring back to him. There are coins from a few different countries: Canada, Great Britain, France, India, Turkey, etc. Quite a few foreign coin, but mostly Canadian quarters and Canadian pennies.

And my 99.9% pure nickel Canadian Five Cent coin hoard is now 16 coins strong. Guess I'm gonna have to keep my day job for a while longer.
