Nice additions. Probably time for me to cash in our coins too!
$191? That's awesome. My parents had a bunch of purple velvet bags (Crown Royal) filled with coins at their house when we cleaned it out a few summers ago. Can't remember how much was in it, but I'm pretty sure it paid for one of our family meals that week.
Congrats on the new gets!
