A small moment of Awesome in my day
Today, I had to do laundry. Currently on my umpteenth load. But to do laundry, one needs quarters. Had to run to the library and store this morning, so took the time to grab two rolls from the service desk.
Get home, unwrap the first roll... and they are all the same. A design I'd not seen before. Do a little checking, and see that these are the Perry’s Victory and International Peace Memorial Quarter.
Released by the Treasury on April 1st. Which means this roll went straight from the mint to a bank and then was delivered to my local Safeway. Now they sit in my apartment's washer and drier.
Such is the life of money.
But still, pretty cool to get a roll like that.
