I trust you are well, and not affected much by the coronavirus...?  We
are fine here, but there are lots of restrictions and closings to try to
stem the spread of the virus....

 NB>> 3000 pennies, 600 nickels, 300 dimes.... depends on how many one
 NB>> has available to save along the way.... ;)  Or maybe it's twice
 NB>> that, nowadays.... ;)

 MK> Closer to three times methinks or at least locally it is.

$90...?  They run about $60 or so here....  I remember when one could
get a good single malt for $30, though...
 
 NB>> That may be.... they keep threatening to get rid of pennies over
 NB>> here, but so far it hasn't happened...

 MK> It happened years and years ago here.  I still have some in a metal
 MK> cup stashed away somewhere.  I am not sure why. 

Nostalgia, no doubt... ;)

 NB>> I still carry and use them... :)

 MK> You can keep them.  ;-)

Prices don't get rounded here... lots of times you'd get pennies in
change... unless you have some in the wallet/pocket to turn in to avoid
that.... ;)
