Gather EC

An Elongated Coins Collection

Scott took half a day off to see an Orioles game. Minutes before he left the office, I suddenly remembered that there may be penny machines at the stadium. There is a 4-die machine at the Camden Yards and my colleagues helped me gathered a few copper pennies for Scott to take with him.
This morning, I found four new ECs on my desk :D
Special thanks to Belinda and Scott for the Camden Yards pennies!

I was invited to attend a conference held in Washington DC last week. When I browsed through the agenda, I saw that the last night’s reception is held at the Newseum.
What luck! The Newseum has been on my list of problematic locations. The admission cost is $20 and one of the machines is said to be located inside the museum. $20 is a lot to pay for access to any penny machine, and I never found a way around it till now.

It was a lively party and parts of the museum was closed off. The machine was sitting outside of the gift shop on the second floor. I had to run to the neighboring restaurant in order to get enough quarters, but I got my pennies in the end :)

New EC’s from Newseum Washington DC

I still have a set of Israelis EC’s to scan, but I stashed them away somewhere and they are not to be found :(

Right now, I’m working on improving the trade list. Not its contents, but its looks. I hope to get a nesting bullet format, but I think there’s a bug in my code.
