Quote i found interesting
"After collecting some 120 rolls in his sagging backpack, he dashed to the post office to have each roll time-stamped for proof of purchase."
reminded of my own sagging backpack full of $1 coins but taking it to the bank.
wonder if you were able to purchase a roll (50cents) with a credit card and take it to the bank rack up 1/2 a frequent flier mile.
