Can't figure it ??

OK, I know it's off season. Yep the beach is sanded in. Surf has been a touch too rough for me to wade out. So my buddy and I have about picked about a mile and a half of beach apart. So heres what I can't figure---
You can't hardly get a penny in change anywhere on the beach. Everythings priced to the dollar or quarter dollar. So how in the darn is it that 80% of our coins are pennies? Will admit the one time I did get out in the water, quarters were up 2 to one over the pennies. Must be a hex.

You see Dancer, at high tide on full moons, quarters crawl up on the beach to spawn, they lay little nests of pennys! As the pennys hatch, they grow into nickles and dimes on their journey back to the water, where they mature and become quarters! Ah, the circle of Life!

There are certain beaches here in NJ, where there are bars on the beach, and piers that jut out. I think more people are seeing us out there hunting, and end up getting a roll of pennies and tossing them.

I hit a spot one time where I was digging pennies every foot and after about 50-60 of them, figured someone chucked them for a laugh. Heck, there was one time when I was hunting and two drunk guys were pitching them right in front of me from the pier above. We both had a good lauggh on that one.

Bad thing is, a lot of corroded zincs ( and they corroed in about 10 minutes in the salt water !) sound and hit like gold on a lot of machines.
