I picked up some customer wrapped pennies yesterday and noticed one of them was marked Contaminated.
Makes me wonder if I should wear a hazmat suit to open it
I haven't opened it up yet

You know how kids often swallow coins and then their parents have to search throught the "waste" to make sure they've passed through? Maybe that coin roll came from a daycare center or something.....

Yes... open them up.. perspiring minds want to know.
When I was a kid we used to swallow copper pennies. If a kid swallows pennies now can he die from zinc poisoning?

You should contact the Federal Reserve immediately !
Ask to speak with Ben (I think he is in the European affairs office today)

My question is: why would a bank accept, and later distribute, a roll of coin marked "contaminated"?
