I have been looking for plastic coin bags for a large fund raising drive I am planning. I am having a hard time finding exactly what I am looking for, has anyone ever used something like this before?

I am not sure what exactly it is you are looking for, but you can check a bank supplier and see if they have what you are looking exactly. Also try office supply stores in the area and see if they have the kind of plastic coin bags that you want. Go to your bank and see if they have any spare bags you can have. I have done this many times.

We have an old coin dated 1801 - very black in color and with a man looking to the right in a powdered wig - or long hair - and on the reverse it appears to be a coat of arms - any idea what this is?

This coin is actually a half-cent coin. It is actually a lady with the powdered wig on the coin. To check if this is right, compare your coin to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Half_Cent_(United_States_Coin)
