Step 1: 45 pounds of coins
Step 2: Dump out Matt's coins (and enlist help from Dad)
Step 3: Get sibling's help in sorting
Step 4: Begin wrapping nickels, dimes, and quarters while leaving most of the pennies in a huge pile when you run out of penny-holders.
Step 5: Gape at mound of pennies and think "WHY did Matt unroll all of these perfectly rolled coins?"
Step 6: Don't get frustrated when the coin-sorter-counter machine breaks and you are only 1/2 done with Matt's coins. (note frustration face. I didn't follow this step very well!)
Step 7: When done sorting all of Matt's coins, begin dumping out and sorting your own!
Step 8: Sort, sort, sort! What?? It's past midnight?? Keep on' sorting!!
Step 9: When you run out of coin-sleeves and baggies, call it a night and stack into your mom's tupperware containers when writing your account number on them
Step 10: Next morning. Call up Mina and have her meet you at the bank. She brings in MORE coins, so spend the next 2 hours sprawled out in the Credit Union bank's floor sorting coins.
Step 11: Be thankful that the bank is also taking apart in Relay For Life, and are very nice to help exchange coins for cash.
Step 12: Marvel at the $321.50 worth of coins that Cy-Falls collected!!

For your infomation, the next time you plan to fundrise -or- empty the piggy bank, you might want to collect 7 times the pennies wrappers you would think you need. most banks will give you flat wrapper for free on request. ( US Mint Fact: Every year 70-75% of all common coins minted are pennies)
