Similar experience, though I'm too lazy to check the value, I think I had something like 17k dogecoin mined. My password had to have been like 60 characters and I forgot it, deleted my wallet because I figured it wasn't worth much anyways and I had gotten bored with the community by then.

I really did like the community around it though (aside from a few ne'er-do-wells) and how when people would ask for the going rate of 1 Dogecoin you'd always get the response of 1 Dogecoin. In any case I think it worked well as an educational tool.
