Received a new Nevada quarter in change for coffee this morning. A 'd' mint mark, so it must have been a traveling salesman just on the way through town.
I gave it back to the waitress, as she collects these and had missed it when it was taken in this morning. Hope she remembers that when I ask for a second cup of coffee tomorrow.

Found one of those Canadian Veterans commems with the red poppy on it today. The poppy was nearly worn off already. I gave it to one of my co-workers since I already have one (I think I have C64 to thank for this one!).

I don't why I'm posting this, no one is going to believe it. Found on the floor at the laundry about about 2 hours ago. What are the odds? A billion to one? A a trillion to one? Yet I can't win that stinking lotto and it's only 13 million to one.  |

Is this a Scooby Doo elongated cent? What a strange place to find it!

Yes it is Scooby Doo. Strange isn't the word for finding this. An elongated is exonumia and I collect exonumia, although I'm not too wild about elongated coins. And then there's Scooby sniffing, as though he's looking for something. Like coin collectors do?

I find a lot of old Jeff nickels. Find at least 1 wheatie a month in spare change. Most recent was a 1937! Most wheaties that I find are from the '50's. Still looking for that heavily circulated 1955 DDO! One can dream. |

In my excitement over my 1911 wheatie find, I forgot about the 1919 I found a few days later! Not too shabby, two cents from the teens in one week!  My mom got a 1943-S nickel back in change today when we got lunch. The cashier handed her back the coins, and the nickel looked really dark. I said, "Let me see that nickel!" I turned that one over to Dad... Rachel [:p] |

Found a 1956d lincoln cent in change at the grocery store yesterday. Red-Brown, I could'nt believe it. It's more red than brown, I just thought it was a new penny until I saw the date. Rick Edited by tnwalker10

Got this last night in 7-Eleven. Don't know who or what Gravy is suppose to mean. May be some local band down here? But then it was dated on Super Bowl Sunday. Can't imagine many bands were wailing away in the bars during the Super Bowl.  Edited by longnine009

My dad found an Austrian 10 eurocent in the church offering on Sunday, and gave it to me. It's about the same size as an Australian $2, and they'd counted it as such. First time I'd seen a euro-coin in change here.
