I have YET to recover an S $. I do have a couple full sheets of $1 bills from the printing office in DC. Cheaper than high-end wallpaper... In years past, a tuppence was thrown overboard when leaving Nantucket, to guarantee a safe return. A few still wash up after a storm. I have spot welded a few current pennies together that I toss at Brant Point. Now I have been engraving pennies for this summer's cache adventures. (don't EVEN tell me about destroying money, what about all the beer soaked, wadded-up bills I find in my pocket on Sunday morning?)
