EBay, Collectors, Flea Market & Antiques

I heard years ago that the federal gov't. might pass a law allowing coins to be sold as scrap, so I sort my pennies and put the 1982 or older in a container. I have almost a pound! lol I put the other pennies in a jar and save other coins if my purse gets overloaded. A couple years ago, I showed my grandkids how to count and wrap coins. They wrapped over $80.00, and I let them have the rolls when they were done, told them it was their pay for wrapping the coins. Later, their Dad saw the rolls laying on the counter and asked where they'd come from. My grandson told him I'd paid them for work. Dad stepped right in it, asked "What work?" And both kids said, "Wrapping coins!" I enjoyed the moment. The coins haven't built up that high since then, and I think they'd rather sort folding money or credit cards. lol

There will always be something in your stuff that someone else will treasure. It might not be your loved ones, but it'll be someone In the meantime, enjoy your stuff!
