Yesterday Henry went to the zoo with Meg and a few of there friends. Meg said he had a good time. He didn't want to be in the stroller very much and didn't like the train ride at all, but otherwise he had fun. He especially liked the playground and watching other, bigger kids go on the small amusement park-like rides they have there. The day before he and Meg managed to run into a firetruck at a local park. Henry got to check out the truck and get a free plastic hat.

Last night I just went though some quarters and dimes. I didn't do so hot with the quarters, but the dimes were really good.

4,120 quarters yielded just three Canadians, one UK 10 pence, one US penny and one US dime.

8,950 dimes produced twelve silver Rosies (3 x 1946D, 1954D, 1957, 1959, 1961D, 1962D, 1963, 1963D, 1964, 1964D), fourteen Canadians, two US pennies and one Belgian 1 franc. That's a lot of silver dimes for that amount of searched coin. I don't think the dimes were related either, especially since both banks put up good numbers. I guess one just gets lucky sometimes.

A teller saved me a large dollar.
