I caught a few really good photos of the storm yesterday in Ontario.

Actually kinda weird what happened. I was originally just like okay let see if I can gook up the one for like a bigger screen for gaming but then noticed it worked as a dual screen which is great! The one on the left acts as a TV/Monitor.

20" RCA flat screen. The guy said it was only about 2 years old and barely used. I got a great deal. Only paid $50.

I don't just hoard because I just like to have lots of pennies and nickels but hoard to actually make money. If you counts I have about $294 in nickels and $288 with 33 roles in the $1000 box of loonies. So every one of these is worth more the the face value of the coin except the two boxes of nickels. Each penny from 1982 - 1996 is worth 1.85 cents and every penny from pre 1982 are worth 2.4 cents is worth each nickel before 1981 is worth 7 cents. So lets start out with the nickels.

Face value: $294

Nickels Value Melt per Coin - 7 cents
How many nickel? - 1880 coins
Nickel Melt Value - $131.6 + $200 = $331 while I only paid $294 so I am up $37.6

Now for pennies:

1982 - 1996 face value $216.50 or 21650 pennies.
How much Penny Melt per penny - 1.85 cents
Penny melt value - 21650 x 0.0185 = 400.53 so I am up $184.03

pre 1982 face value $75 so 7500 pennies.
How much melt per penny? - 2.4 cents
Penny Malt Value - 75000 x 0.024= $180 so I am up $105

We bought a computer last year thinking it would be good. Ya right. It was really crappy the graphics and power supply unit. Ram was not the best for gaming either. Games would fail because the graphics card would not be large enough.
