Congratulations, Waterford people! I would like to thank Charter Oak Federal Credit Union for allowing me to use their change machine so Ididn’t have to roll all these coins.

As you can see in the [second] photo, we also received some really neat foreign coins, two paperclips and a guitar pic! Thank you to everyone who donated — every penny counts!
